That said, are there any projects we could be working on?

Today turned out to be a good day. 10 flights total split between 5 pilots. Thanks to Mark and Don for instructing and John S for towing. Also some true spit shine polishing was taking place on 2 of the private ships.
Stay tuned as we are getting into the prime soaring weather soon.

I’ll be out by 9:00 to get things set up.

Subject: Reply To: The week ahead; By John Scott, [Sky Soaring]Saturday recap:
Started out with the club meeting. Attendance was good for a cold morning. After that several projects and tasks were addressed. For example, the 1-34 trailer was pulled out and prep work began on making it ready and road worthy for any possible retrieves. In addition, the 1-34 was assembled and tied down outside. Also the PW-5 was assembled and is now stored in the hanger. Work was done to prepare the Pumpkin wings prior to painting. The plan is to take them over to the shop Monday of next week. Let see, what else. Yes, despite the cold and wind 7 flights were launched. New members Joe, Vince and Will all took flights. Paul returned and is practicing to re-solo soon. And Vince’s cousin received a guest flight as well. Thanks to Gary, Don and Tim for instructing and John S for towing. We also welcome back former member Mo who is looking forward to resuming his flight training. Was there more? For sure but details escape me.

Saturday turned out to be a beautiful day for flying. Only 3 flights but great lift. Will had his first glider flight, I think he really enjoyed it. don and I took the 2-33 up to 6,200MSL and Peter with Gary was up for over 40 min. The hardest part or the flight was getting done. Besides being cold!
Sunday looks to be very windy but there will be some work taking place after 10 so come on out.
