How's the weather looking for next weekend. I am from Minnesota, and the forecast up here says there might be some rain down there. Several of us are planning on going, but if there is a chance of rain, we don't want to make the 2400 mile trip.

I would hold off until about Wednesday and then check weather.com if you're sitting on the feice. It rained yesterday, it was nice but a little breezy today, and its supposed to be great tomorrow.... the day after that is anybody's guess!

Long range indicators are that Thursday is iffy toward the evening, Friday you will get wet half the time, and Saturday will be dryer but breezy. These things are usually pretty accurate, and tend to firm up toward the higher chace of rain, but no reason not to come down. I've flown my smaller stuff in a drizzle before. . it's not a big thing. Just bring the plastic sheeting to keep the planes dry and fly between downpours. .

I look at it this way .. a 50% chance of rain means you can fly half the time at least.

I went out on Friday and flew my electric plane in a steady light drizzle... probably not the smartest thing I've ever done with an airplane, but it was great to have the whole field to myself! There was absolutely no wind, so I just couldn't resist getting a couple of flights in.

I went to the 07 Huckfest. Bought a 50cc yak from Chris while I was there and I now have the 50cc extra also. I plan on flying this year (my first). The fever is unreal. Four friends in the Falling Water R/C Club (Chattanooga, TN) club will also be there.

Don't look like a good weekend for flying, unless you enjoy the cold rain.
