Gary P. and I will be out at the field on Tuesday doing the yearly conditional inspection on 2-33 Stars and Strips. We’ll be busy with that for about 3-4 (10-2pm) hours or so, so neither one of us will be available to tow or instruct until we finish the annual, mid to late afternoon. It’s possible Nick can tow and maybe another instructor can come out.

Today’s (Monday Labor Day) weather is looking better than the last few days as far as lift goes. SkySight is showing lift to 5000 feet starting around noon with possible Q’s. Winds are supposed to be out of the south/southwest around 10kts with some possible gusting. High temps around 92 so, it will be hot. Bring drinks!
Good news, thanks to Jimbob and Poplar Grove the Pawnee repairs are complete, and the towplane is back up and running.
— DonWe have a tow pilot for both Saturday and Sunday. We have two
scenic glider rides scheduled for Saturday morning as well, if one
of our commercial pilots would like to fly those.Come on out!!!

We had a great turnout of people out at the field on Sunday. Unfortunately, we ran into a magneto problem with the towplane. At first we thought it might have been a bad spark plug but after changing plugs we had the same problem. The right magneto was problematic so our A&P Gary pulled it off and Jimbob will bring it to Poplar Grove today. We had lots of disappointed members and guests as we didn’t get a single flight in. The towplane will be down for a few days.

Last Call to fill out the Condor Soaring Simulator survey before I close it out on Wednesday, August 30th. Results will be shared with the BOD.
We want your input as this would be a $2500 investment from the club.
We need 2 instructors to head up and oversee the training program. If you are a CFI-G and willing to invest your time please let me know. This is a requirement from the SSA in order to receive the grant money.
The survey is located here

Sunday is looking like a very nice day to fly gliders. Skysight is saying lift to 5500 around 2pm. Blue skies and light winds out of the east, northeast. We cancelled yesterdays scenic rides due to low clouds but they will be returning today, if we have a commercial pilot available to give rides. I believe we may have 4 or 5 people come out.
Saturday was spent mowing and general repair. A few pattern tows were given to DJ once the overcast skies broke up.

We have a towpilot for both Saturday and Sunday. We have a couple scenic rides to give Saturday morning around 11 if one of our commercial pilots is available to fly those.
