[Talkrc] Anybody Fly This Weekend?

[Lewis, Scott (Specialty Potato Products)]

Samuel and I had similar experiences...although we made a little better
use of them.  Went out Saturday morning around 9:00 or so and
found...the wind blowing.  So we went home and decided to go kite
flying.  Tried to fly in a nearby park...not enough wind so loaded up
and went out to the field.  Plenty of wind out there.  For now on I
think I will throw a kite in with my planes...just in case.

I haven't been to Zillah for several years, but it is a nice field. Been
there a couple of times with Ted Tanasse, and maybe once with one of you
old geezers, can't remember if it was John Hanson or who.

I guess it is still March. Some February's we get some good weather, but
not much has hit, at least when I have been free to fly.

We did get one weekend there that was nice enough that Scott Lewis got
to solo, and his son Samuel got some practice.  I have pictures in the
camera, just need to extract them. And I did get a couple flights in one
of the less windy days-- but it was cold.

It will get better, maybe!!!

Steve,
You think you got it bad, listen to this:  I looked at the wind and
decided it was terrible and going to stay that way locally.  I checked
the wind at Toppenish and found it was 2 mph average and 5 peak from the
East.  Craig and I loaded up about 12:15 and headed for Zillah.  On the
way there, a front moved in and it was blowing a damn gale by the time
we got to the field.  Looked that field over -- it is beautiful!  Wind
was almost as bad as I have ever seen there, however.  We tried a
tasting room or two and came home, kinda disgusted.  Long trip for
essentially nothing.
