Anyone planning on making a go of it? We were talking about meting at 10am for breakfast and then heading out for a few flights. Not sure how windy it is supposed to be. Shows sunny until early afternoon and 6 degrees. What say you?

I'm out at the field today. It's drying up nicely. What a difference a week makes. Weather network as of 3:00 pm predicts 10 km wind and a temp of 7C midday for Sunday. Dave, I have the futaba wireless buddy cord if you don't find one. Grant, nice pic of your plane and I heard it maiden perfectly.

Hi Guys
Yes it was a great day at AVIA.
Did anybody take any pictures.

Shane if you see this my Extra from Extreme flight is the 78 inch version an I got it in March 2010.
I was right about the shipping cost.
If we were talking the 88" size it probably falls into the oversize area. That is why the cost is high.

Yes it was great!! Al, I counted 17 pilots!! What a day and no problems getting on a pilot station. Let's hope the weather cooperates all year. The field is in great shape for this time of year.

What a day, been awhile since I had that much fun at an R/C field!

Grant,

I dug up the old e-mail, sure enough the quote was indeed for the Extreme Flight 78". Shipping $352 USD :o :o

Hi Guys
Can't believe the amount of flying that has taken place this year . The field is dry and has already been rolled.
Great place to fly.
Bring on the summer.
