seesh mike, you have too much time on your hands.

I might go over to Terry's this weekend to see if I can rent his trailer (again). I then have all kinds of work that I would like to get done on the plane, but she is flyable right now.

I've been talking to Bruce (the one in Idaho) and might go to see if I can fly with Greg Poe. (not likely though)

I am on spring break now, but I don't want to spend it here just flying. I want to go somewhere warm, i have an uncle in Tuscon...

I spoke with my brother there yesterday. He said it was 84 degrees. That would be nice right now. Have fun, don't sleep to much and practice.

Oh man I'm cheesing my f-ing brains out right now.

Well guys I made it to the field today, before the weather came in. A few other guys out but not much flying. Maidened the big glider and flew the foamy a couple times. Now to enjoy the rain, snow, and an 8-day work trip.

Hey Ryan:
How did the big bird fly. how long etc. It sure was an impressive build. Does it live up to it's potential?

And watch your use of those four letter words in the forums. Eewwww!! Work???

The following is a for profit advertisement
Apex Auto Glass understands that no matter how much the fee is at an IMAC event there will be some who want to enter the sport but cannot afford the fee.
If you cannot afford to fly or if you know someone who wants to start but cannot afford it, Please have them call this number toll free 1-888-860-1518 and Apex Auto Glass Inc will pay their fee.
This applies for any event in the nw schedule for this year.
This also will apply to experienced pilots as well. If you are in a tough situation please call me. We want everyone who can fly at IMAC to fly.
I have the right to give my money to whoever I want and for whatever reason I want. Please no one tell me any differrent. I dont want to hear it.
Also please, this is not about weather the fees are to high. Lets not bring up the problem some think about fees. If anyone believes the fees to be too high please contact the CD who is in charge of setting the fees.
Yes Brian Apex will pay your fee this year for every event if you need it. But more then anything please let everyone know who is considering IMAC that they will not have to pay if they want to give it a try. Thats most important.

Thanks
Darren

Dick, the maiden went well but it was too breezy and cold to really gauge how well this thing is going to perform. Here's a flight report.
