Every thursday night during the summer months, a group of guys get together for combat. Go here to see this wackyness.
Another windy day for our scale event held on July 13th kept a lot of the planes down. Enjoy!
These are pictures from the Electric Fun Fly on Sunday, June 29th. There were 31 registered pilots. The day started out nice then the winds came up and the air was really lumpy. Enjoy.
On the weekend of May 31st and June 1st, we held our annual Bud Weber Pattern Classic. We had 18 registered pilots with SEVEN Electrons!! Marv Ingerson Jr., Paul Hohensee, John Kreitzer, Randy Jans, Tom Kunath, Joe Burzinski and Mike Dorna all flying in the event.
Winds in the 15 to 20 MPH range with gusts getting close to 30 kept most other members from giving Club Class a try. At least that's what I hope. That was Saturday - Sunday was picture perfect in every way. All classes except Sportsman flew only 2 rounds on Saturday due to the high winds and the forecast for light winds on Sunday. So Randy Jans and John Krietzer were thrown to the wolves so to speak, the wolf being a 25 mph wind out of the west!
After 11 years being the CD of this event I've decided to hand the show over to Joe Burzinski who has been my Co-CD for several years. Joe has some great ideas to fire people up about the contest and I'll be there to help out anyway I can. Tom Kunath is being recruted by Joe to be his Co-CD. I hope the Electrons give these guys the support that you've given me the past 11 years.
Special thanks to Tim and Hannah Roliff who cooked and served food. Chris Milbauer who picked up and delivered all the food stuff plus prepped, cleaned and did all the odd "kitchen" jobs. Chris has a "side-kick" - Pete Milewski, that seemed pretty indespensable.
