Over the last month much has been accomplished at the field.
A BIG thank you for the hand full of members who have consistently shown up to help.

We have completed work up to the final step of raising the Sun Shade frame.
A larger number of volunteers are required to actually lift the structure into positon, the morning of  Wednesday July 25th
It's critical we have sufficient volunteers to do this work safely on Wednesday, otherwise it will not be available for our event on July 28.

Once it's up, we can have a few flights and ENJOY the shade!

PS Anyone who has a long heavy duty rope, please bring it!

Thanks in advance

Dan I have 100 feet of 1/2 Kevlar rope (has been used to tow cars!) perhaps it could be used with one of the tractors? I won’t be able to be there Wed morning due to work
Angry but I could run out and leave the rope in the container for you guys to use Wed? Just let me know.

The rope was put in the job site box at the field tonight Dan. See you guys took out the fencing in front of the canopy, good idea.
Good luck with the lift.
