Flying at Teeland tomorrow night

Hi Gang,
 
Tomorrow night there will be fun and flying again at the Teeland gym. Please remember that the following Friday the 29th we are not on the schedule.  So tomorrow will be the last flying session of 2017.
 
Kudos to all who helped welcoming the new people to our flying session.  Kelly Foreman brought six well behaved home schooled kids ranging in age from 6 to 12 years old.  Also, Gene and Sandra Ford brought two kids of there own. 
 
Don't forget to charge your batteries and I'll see ya tomorrow night for some flying fun.

Cyclocopter and Slaughterbots

 

Cyclocopter

they now have a 30 gram one, the lifting vortex gets proportionally more powerful the smaller the cyclocopter gets

 

 

Ok, now this possibly is really scary

Teeland Flying Tonight

Hi Gang,
 
I have got a nice Christmas Card for Pattie the Costodian and a $100 gift card to Kohl's.  We will try to get everybody to sign the card and then we will present it to her.  For thoes of you who have donated, thank you very much.  We are a little bit short so we are still accepting donations.
 
We will be able to fly next week 12/22/17 but the following week 12/29/17 the Gym floor will be resurfaced so no flying then.
 
See ya tonight for some fun flying,

Teeland Flying tomorrow night

Hi Gang,
 
Looks like we are good to go tomorrow the 8th.  Friday the 15th we are planning to presenting Patty the costodian with a gift.  BTW, Patty has been the best costodian in the last 4 years the I have been flying their.  We talked about just what we were going to get her.  In the past some of the gifts have been gift certificate from Fred Meyer and stuff like that.  Since Patty is a girl Jo Ann suggested we get her a $100 gift certificate from Koels.  That would be mostly girl stuff she would appreciate probably the most.  At any rate if you guys are good with that or whatever you decice, Lee has been asked to collect the donations.
 
Jo Ann and I both have the Flu and probably won't make it to tomorrow night session. Hope everybody has a wonderful time flying and we hope to be there next week to make the presentation to Patty.
 
Happy flying,
 
Bill

Flying Teeland Tonight!

Hi Gang,
 
We are cleared for take off in the Teeland Gym tonight begining at 6pm.  As a reminder next week the Gym will be closed for Thanksgiving.
 
Last week we were all treated to a couple of  fun "Ukie" flights by none other than "Dizzy Don".  Also, please welcome Jeff Muller, Jeff flew a little R/C a few decades ago and is just now getting back into the hobby.  I arranged to get the Frontier Fun Flyer's club trainer for Jeff to fly.  This was a Night Vapor and Jeff had no trouble flying it all around the Gym.  He had so much fun with it that he drove into Anchorage and bought a Night Vapor and a DX6 from Anchorage House of Hobbies.  He should be flying his new setup tonight.  If you haven't met him yet please take a minute to introduce yourself to him.  He is the old gizzer with bushy grayish beard.
 
See ya'll tonight!

Indoor flying at Teeland this Friday Night

Hi Gang,
 
We are setup for another fun evening of indoor flying at Teenland tomorrow night.  Make sure your batteries are charged and your planes and copters are ready.  We are scheduled for both gyms tomorrow night.
 
Last week we had a good turn out but flying was a bit challanging due to the kids running all around and sometimes getting in the way.  This week we should have the whole gym to ourselves!  Yea!
 
I am looking forward to getting some good flying in and seeing everybody there.
 
See ya'all tomorrow night,

Teeland Indoor Flying

Hi Gang,
 
The way the wind is blowing around here today, flying outdoors is out of the question.  However, the forecast for Friday nights indoor session is for warm temperatures, calm winds, and good visibility........Perfect!
 
Teeland will be hosting some sort of school event this Friday night so the small gym will not be abailable to us.  So all flying will be in the large gym.  Also, we have been asked to please stay in the big gym and only use the wash rooms in the big gym.  So please don't go wandering down the hallways to other parts of the school.
 
All in all, we are a go for some fun flying  this Friday night.
 
See ya there,
 
Bill

Indoor Flying Fright Night

Hi Everybody,
 
We will be flying in the Teeland Gym again this Friday the 22nd, 6-9pm.
 
Last week we had some really fun flying.  Bob Stevens maidened his new Twisted Hobbies "Crack Fokker Dr. 1 Triplane".  It flew so well it looked like he had been flying it for years.  Good Job Bob!.
 
Don "Ukie" Meyers was at it again with his nastalgic 1/2A control line baby ringmaster.  This time with some new modifications and WOW, it flyies just as good as a baby ringmaster did in the old days with an .049.  After the first dizzying flight Don was still standing!
 
In between all that, there was some crazy 3D flying and Lee was enjoying doing some loops with his biplane.  Everybody had a fun evening.
 
Hope to see everybody this Friday again at the Gym.
