Barely.
How goes Mike? This year was a writeoff for me! I flew 3 times...
Vaction,then family staying for most of the summer, finish some reno's and finally Sept comes,
everyone gone.
Then work gets stupid busy-work w/ends ..
October arrives , time to fly right! nope...
House gets B&E'd :evil:
Trashed the house, but cats ok thankfully.
Fighting insurance co but looking better now.

*forgot one...trusty old computer died last week, hard drive kaputt.
Just getting around to fixing it now.

Stop the world, I want to get off !

Hey Glen , I traded my old grinder pc in for a surface pro 2 years ago . No moving parts in this thing .And its faster .

As far as relatives go , you love to see them But love to see them go even more .

House brake ins suck , we've gone through it years ago and it takes a while to get over it .

Haven't done much flying this year either . I hear there moving the runway closer to the pits .

I like the Idea . Wont have to walk so far back after a flame out.

Still thinking of rebuilding this Camel . May start this winter , probably a 2 year project .

Take care

Mike

Hi Glen ,I took the Revolver and the flying boat anchor out for a winter run up before the long winter nap .
The bloody Ultimate had the throttle reversed and when it started scared the shit out off me about 12,000 RPM ..

I got the Corse Air and the Spit on the charger , next dry day I'll run them up for winter storage .
The B-51 B will have to wait ...it's got a stuck valve and the tappet cover has a stripped socket bolt head.

Mike

No, it has not been moved. We were there last weekend and it was VERY VERY wet. It probably will be some time before we could work on the runway.

Looks like there is a weather station at the field ,,, Cool,,, :shock:

Try this link .

http://www.ridgeflyers.com/website/inde ... onditions/

Takes a minute to load . And some times unavailable .

The page may need refreshed to get current weather , I don't think there is a camera set up yet but would be a nice addition . ;)
