Definitely a great day flying and the excellent video footage from our camera men captures it perfectly.
Mike, you must be happy with the Draco. The maiden flight looks really good and mixing all the different video sources top it off 👍
Gerald, I’m sure Mike will reward you handsomely for you part in it 🙂
Kermit, your Draco Baby video is a great collection of the flight line gang and I love your head cam footage. You had great patience and determination to get the green machine back in the air and congratulations for achieving that 👏
Oh, and Hoppy, it looks like that red plane in your video has something wrong with it. Is one of the aileron servos stuck fully in one direction? It just keeps spinning around and around!! 🙂
Great videos again everyone.
Mike, you definately got your steps up on the long walk!
Good job Fab in flying your powered glider considering it has been a long time since your last fly.
Oh, Kermit, thanks for the dedication of your video 😂😂😂
Excellent footage once again from everyone. Thank you. I wish I could have been there. Better that laying in bed crook 😷
It may have been challenging with the Zero in the wind though.
Next time.
Excellent videos by all. Thank you for capturing the maiden flights of the Zero and Beer Carton Spitfire.
Hoppy, I didn’t know that all Zeros were green. I did an images search for Zeros and came up with this:
Lisa, I’m not sure if you know but I think you left your chair at Puddleduck. I noticed that it was placed under the entry decking where we normally keep the boat retrieval pole. You could swing by and collect your chair or next time you attend.

Hi Mike, the communal table looks much better with the ramp moved to the side.
Is there power available for the video screen near the ramp?
The Li’l Eagle looks pretty good in that photo Mike.
Speaking of repairing planes, I finally rebuilt a new fuselage for the cardboard beer carton Spitfire yesterday. I was able to use the wings from the first build.
I was a bit light on empty beer cartons so not much variety in this montage.
After extenstive testing of the handicap timer, I have come to the conclusion that the arduino processor is susceptible to low voltage drop outs which I have been able to reproduce.
As this is the first time we used the timer for an extended period, the voltage on the battery got low enough to cause the processor to behave eradically. Until now, we have only used the timer for two hours at a time on our Tuesday sailing sessions.
Congratulations to Lisa as that was the first thing she said, “Is the battery going flat?”
Ironically, I actually had a spare battery in the car but didn’t think about changing it over. DOH!
Great videos from everyone.
BTW Kermit, I think you are easily as good as Pred. That last video of yours was FANTASTIC!
And thanks for the update on the President.
