We were joined by Walter Hicks - visiting from the south - who is getting back into rubber free flight after a period dedicated to control line flying. He asked a lot of questions about tissue, dope, wood, shrinking, rubber and a lot more, and I think we managed to give several different answers to every question. Good to see you Walter - come back again.
Jim flew a variety of Prairie Birds, Mike had some great flights with the new Comet and almost went OOS with his Bostonian. Jerry's Heinkel is nearly under control, Dave Ks Albatross performed predictably, and Phobi's peanuts were delightful until one landed on the road right in front of a passing car. Dave W took most of the photos after the warps on the Mustang proved unfixable. My Gypsy is promising and George's Dayton Wright Racer put in possibly its best flight in 15 years.
Mike's new Volksplane looks like it will be tough to beat.

What a day!!!!!

Great posting, Tom. One thing about Phobe's little mishap, if I'm not mistaken her plane was in the air when it collided with the front end of that SUV. I mention it only because it was spectacular. No video, so if you didn't see it you have to use your imagination.
