Friday was suicidally windy, no kidding - would have needed a lead sled. So Dick and I shot the breeze (literally) for half an hour and gave up.
However, early days yet but Thursday might be promising.

Flying Sunday November 6
Good Adam, see you there and hope folks read the SOGGI email re informal contest. For those who have not:-
Sunday looks like a great flying day, clear skies and low winds. So anyone who wants to participate I thought we could make up for the Thanksgiving Contest multiple postponements..
For those who wish to join in a very informal contest; -
- As many rounds as you want to fly
- Score on max total time and average time per round
- Landing points score too
- LSF achievements for those who need it
- No classes, electric, Hi-start or winch, any wingspan
No pressure, relaxed and just have fun. If you don't want to record scores, still come along and fly anyway or help out.
I'll bring some score cards and we'll aim to start flying (contest wise) around 11 am, as it will be cool before then.
Hope to see you there, There won't be many more flying days this season.

Flying Friday Nov 4 (Maybe not?)
The Weatherperson is now a little less optimistic about how nice Friday's flying conditions will be. The weather is currently pretty unstable, so I think I will check the forecast again early on Friday morning before setting off for the flying field. At that time I'll leave another note here indicating what my own plans are.
Here is the new forecast for Friday (as of Thursday afternoon): This was the previous forecast for Friday (as of Wednesday morning). Bob H

Re: Friday, Nov. 4/16 Flying Session
Evening!
I am looking forward to joining the rest of you at the field! I'll probably be there around 9:30 am but will have to leave around 12:30 pm. I will bring my new (to me) Spirit 100 & my heavy duty hi-start.
Cheers!

Flying Friday November 4, 2016
The forecast looks pretty good for Friday November 4, at least during the 10 AM - 2PM time slot. If we fly Friday, that will mark our 58th flying session for 2016. I've been doing some more work on the Club Winch, and hope to test the modifications made so far.
