Wow! It was another busy month! Our season is coming to an end, but not quietly. I have attended three more events since my last report.
First was the Wenatchee Red Apple Flyers Warbirds event. It is a great venue and there was good attendance and fantastic flying! It was a busy weekend for me.
Besides flying in the event, I was able to get in my first turbine flight and a maiden flight on my Pilot-RC P-47. This is an event you need to put on your calendar. Following are some pictures:
Next was a NorthWest Scale Aeromodelers Fall Classic event at Weaver’s Field in Othello, Washington. It is a great venue for Scale and we always have a good time at this field.
Here are some pictures:
Finally, I was at the Inland Empire Quiet Flyers event outside of Spangle, Washington. This is an annual electric-only fun-fly that I’ve attended for more than a decade. It is always fun! I do a lot of flying (30 flights on 10 different airplanes). Even with marginal weather, it was well attended and someone was flying all of the time.

That’s all for this month. Now it is building season! Send me your build information and pictures and I’ll try and get them in. Keep building and flying!
