Great news - we are a go for Lunch on the Fly, Friday, Sept. 25. Set-up will look a little different from the past so please take a minute to read through: 1. We will be wearing a mask - and we ask that you do as well while you're standing in line. 2. Please maintain social distancing. 3. Hand-sanitizer will be available for your use. 4. Hours will be from 10 am to 1 pm CENTRAL to spread out the crowd and help those of you on Eastern time. 5. Food will be served and eaten outside. We'll have some tables and chairs, but bring your own chair if possible. 6. We will be serving the food instead of the normal self-serve. So please be patient if it takes a little longer to get through the line. We've missed having Friday Lunches and are thrilled that the weather will make it possible to be outside! Please help us make this a successful and safe event by respecting the guidelines put in place. Give me a head count if you plan to attend. We'd hate to run out of food!!!!!

This is the full VG flight test review, with before install test flights including numbers, installation, and then post test flights with numbers. If stalling your plane makes you nervous, get out and practice it until your heart rate doesn't go up any more, only the corners of your mouth. Flying is fun. Stay safe.
Join me on a first-time camping adventure as I head off to the countryside in search of a quiet place to set up my tent. I am joined by a good friend and her dog, Sadie. You can see that I am flying a Cessna 150 and my friend is flying a Piper Archer. I hope while watching my creation you feel as relaxed as I did on this much needed get-away.

It's been a few weeks since my last upload, but finally got around to finishing off the editing on the discussion of performance, and a couple of the unique characteristics of this particular bird with respect to, you guessed it, speed.
Join us Saturday October 17 from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm for our second annual Experimental Day / Fundraiser.

"I fly into TGI regularly. The Chesapeake House was closed this year, but I like to visit Lorraine's. I often bring a cooler and purchase the milk based crab chowder. I often get five or six but you should call ahead to make sure they have it. Worth the trip just for that, but Tangier is a really interesting place to wander around for the day. Highly recommend it." - Submitted by Mac Downs.

"Tangier Island is located in the Chesapeake Bay. The only way to get there is by boat or plane. A quaint little fishing, crabbing, and oyster village less than two hours from the Raleigh area. Nice 2400' rwy with a short walk in to town and local restaurants.
The seafood is excellent and can't be more fresh. Golf carts available for exploring the island. My favorite travel path is to fly over Norfolk, the bay bridge tunnel and up the eastern shore....very pretty trip." - Submitted by Len Felton.

RANS Designs - Factory Tour! How it's Made! Randy walks us through some of the manufacturing processes and the assembly area there at RANS Design in Hays Kansas.
This weekend really had me saying, "Man I really need this weekend!" Therefore, myself and some friends, Dave, Cindy, Jim, and Lilly (and Mazie the beagle) went over to Sekiu to get one more camping trip in before the summer is gone! The GlaStar is currently down because we decided to overhaul the carburetor while taking care of a few other issues. Should be up and better than ever next week, but until then, I'm borrowing a venerable Cherokee! I'm picking up lessons learned with every video I make. On this one, I realize I majorly slacked off on getting footage on the second day!! I promise there'll be more content there next time.
