Flying in Salem Connecticut

[tomcand]

I also want to thank all the tow pilots for the great tows all day.
I also want to mention we had two pilots try towing with easy gliders for the first time.
Thanks

From another thread....



So I guess it was an event after all......"Turkey Tow" ?

Petr

When we get together, its always an event, one way or another!!

Yep, Turkey Tow! Mark your calendar for November 24, 2012. I kid you not!

Thanks to everyone for making the trip. It's the group we're able to get together that really make flying at Salem special. The parking lot was full and even though I think Len and I are the the only dues paying "members," the RC Propbusters officers are always so cool about our having a bunch of friends come by and take over the place! Heck, we even had Dennis towing!

Thanks to Len for putting the Porter on the line for us. And, to Mark and Dennis for doing the lion's share of the towing followed closely by Don.

PS: Mark your calendars for May 18-19-20, 2012 for the New England Aerotow. We's moved the annual true event to spring for 2012.

I'm planing to become a member as well. I think it's the least I can do for all the help I'm getting at the field. Thanks!

Another nice day in CT today. The weather was cool, but there was no wind. Rob finally got to fly his 40% Cub, and I flew my Pitts Python with a new DA 60 on it and needless to say, the DA performed flawlessly.
After a couple flights with the Cub, we put together the Reiher, and towed. The Cub just tows sooooo scale.

Fun day....

Wow, the Reiher and the Cub sure look good together! Matching colors and all

Petr

[Alex]

let me know where I can get those 40% pilots. They look so scale

How did the Python tow on a DA-60? Did you tow on one cylinder only?

[JimD]

I love that Cub! Here is the 1/4-scale one I built in 1986 (and still fly):
