The next EFO meeting will be held at the Rushton Rd. Flying Field, on Saturday, October 3, starting at 11:00 a.m.  It will be a day of relaxed flying.  The club will provide a lunch and beverages.  It will be a sort of fond farewell to summer.  All EFO members are urged to attend this summer close out.  Any electric fliers within driving distance can come and fly with us too.  Just be sure that you have your AMA card with you.   Remember that hand-launched planes are the norm, as the grass, while good for landing, is usually kept pretty long for take-off.
If the weather proves "nasty" on the 10th, give Ken a call, and he'll let you know if it is on or not.  If it doesn't come off on the 10th, we'll plan to have it the following week - or the one after that, etc.  Just keep checking if the weather is questionable.  Hope to see you all then.  The summer was almost perfect, so let's end it that way.

The rest of us flew and flew.  It was very nice, and even the mosquitoes decided to give us a break.  Jim Young stopped by.  He brought his framed up fuselage for a good-sized Mr. Mulligan.  It is looking great.  He has shown some real interest in joining the EFO.  Many of (continue)
