The Oldest Radio Control Model Aircraft Club In Central Indiana

FREEZE FLY JANUARY 1, 2012

For those that did not make it to the field today it was very very windy. By the time I left the field at about 11 we had 5 planes in the air - all electric and 4 were foamies. Jack Sallade flew his Grey T-no glue needed. Steve Howard tried his white T-28 with the first attempt ending in a

Ted Brindle28 twice, I flew my MS Composit Boom once, Justin McCarty flew a balsa Extra/edge (don't remember which) These flights ended with a successful landing with no glue needed.

Steve Howard attempted 2 flight with his white T-28. The batteries were too weak for both flights. The first one ended with a very short flight and ok landing. The second ended about 1/2 way out to the creek (the wind was about 20 out of the west) with a big time crash breaking the fuselage in 2 and driving a piece of Soy Bean through the wing. (see photo below)

Paul Peterson attempted a flight with his foamie Mustang - after several passes across the field the wind got him and was pushing him further and further east and he could not get it back up into the wind. Last I saw it went down out near the creek and Paul, Roy and Steve were heading out to look for it.
