We managed to set up the field with a launch run that avoided the problem areas at the expense of lower launches - there was very little wind to assist either.
Most people managed a couple of training flights and a few solo pilots went round in the Junior.
The rain arrived on schedule at 14:30 and stopped play - how often have we seen that this month.
The glider workshop is coming along nicely -
"The new roof is complete and the workshop is now weathertight. Dry lining is complete as is the new floor. Peter, Ian H, Mike The Chair and Chris H all helped with getting the first mist coat and most of walls second coated, which unfortunately had to be curtailed by lack of paint because someone brought floor paint rather than emulsion. Jammed door locks were sorted with assistance from Mike the Vehicles and the whole area cleaned up. Over to the Sunday crew now to complete the painting.
A volunteer is needed to rub down and paint the pedestrian doors and frames now that the outsides have been clad with galvanised steel (which doesn’t need painting).
The suspended ceiling is programmed for Wednesday and electrics either side of that, with a view to painting the floor next weekend ready for the K21 to go in for COA on the 8th." - Peter the Designer
There is now a crash barrier fitted in front of the LPG tank.
Henry was under pressure doing his bronze exam.
Don't forget the AGM next Saturday - and buy some tickets for Nick's charity raffle!
