The gusts are now looking a bit high, but nevertheless I'll be there.

Morning!
As luck would have it, tomorrow is our last indoor session at Syl Apps arena in Paris! A number of us will be flying the Bluenose P18 indoor FF model that we built at our February session. We have entered a postal contest set up by the NFFS, that closes on April 30th. So tomorrow is our last kick at the can to try and better our flight duration times.

And Thursday, I will be busy taking my granddaughter to appointments....sigh....

Anywho....I hope the weather co-operates for those of you that do make it to the field, enjoy your first time out for the season!

Best,

Lyle

I'm on for Weds provided the forecast stays constant. Arriving around 10 am when it starts to warm up.

Sunday 04/20 Right now, Wednesday looks very promising - keeping fingers crossed for the forecast to hold in which case I plan to be there.
Will post update closer to the day

The only way I can find time and survive these days is to plan ahead. As of now Weds/Thurs next week look possible. I can't make Thurs but will on Weds if my optimism isn't blown away.

Thursday Morning Update:
As pretty well expected for this time of the year, Friday's weather at Burford is not looking promising at all! As I write this post, it is dead calm outside, but cold. They are calling for high winds today at Burford! They better be right or we just blew a great opportunity to go flying! At any rate I'm going to pull the plug on going to the field tomorrow. I will be watching the weather predictions for a possible weather window in the upcoming weeks. Bound to get some decent flying weather soon I hope!

Cheers!

Lyle

Afternoon:
As crazy as this sounds, I been looking at the weather reports for the coming week, and this Friday they are calling for 7-11 km winds from the West, with temperatures around 4C! Although not ideal, they might be good enough to allow me to toss a bunch of planes that I need to check the CG's on.

I realize it's still early days, but I am keeping my eye on the weather reports in the meantime.

Best,

Lyle
