Leech Lake Area Model Flyers

Tuesday, November 21, 2006

11/21/06 Good Morning and Happy Turkey Day to all. Gaige is getting his new smoker ready for the bird right now. We will be smoking him tomorrow, so that we can go flying on Thanksgiving.

Can anyone identify this mystery flyer?? Here is the flying report straight from his mouth:
I put in a flight of 30 minutes on an engine run of 4 minutes 45 seconds. I was still a mile high on a really surprising bit of thermal activity and was getting tired and cold so dove down and landed. Adrian put in one flight on his Mayhem. Shot a few landings and then the engine started cutting out occasionally so he hung it up. Good choice. All in all a good day under the conditions. Forty three and about 4 mph wind. Not too bad. We're planning on getting together with a prospective new member for breakfast one of these days soon. Let me know your guess for our “mystery man”.

The SkyGo better known as the MN wiener is a success. Everyone down here loves it. Gaige is enjoying flying it for me until I feel confident to try myself. He also has introduced the SAGE flyers to the Twinjet. They are all impressed with that one too. Gaige just completed an E-Flite Cub which we will try out Thursday with a flying report to follow.

Remember we need some pictures of your projects, rumor has it more of you are flying “choppers” now, pictures to follow.
