[AlaskaRC] Clarification on the Grill at Groeschel

[Armand Marshall]

I just wanted to clarify just a little.

With a WHOLE BUNCH of help from Steve McLaughlin yesterday, he and I went and grabbed the lawn mower from Fred's place and hauled it out to Groeschel for the summer.  Steve and I also purchased a propane grill to leave at the field for club members  to use while out there this summer.  Some (yah right) assembly was required!  Between the two of us we mangaed to get it assembled...  If we had to do it again, I think we'd try to find an RTF grill (ready to fry) next time.

Gearhart came out and got a little entertainment from watching Steve and I attempting to put the thing together.  He is ready for hot dogs and hamburgers (or steak).  So be sure to have a little extra for when he stops by.

The grill will be there all summer for any of you to use.

Ed Cunningham has offered to pick up a propane tank from my house and fill it up and deliver it to the field in time for the glider contest this Saturday.  So the first 'gas fill up' is on Ed.  Thanks Ed!

We will try to keep it filled and available for everybody.  If you happen to notice it getting low on gas, feel free to unhook it and run up to the general store and get it refilled.

Hope everybody has a great summer.

(FYI - No club funds were used.)
Thanks.
Armand

Subject: [AlaskaRC] Gliding and Grilling at Groeschel

Folks,

Armand & Ed are conspiring to bring a grill to Groeschel field in time for the glider contest this Saturday (10AM).  Bring your grillables and enjoy a day of soaring on an awesome field!

I will have a 2M EPP sailplane available for anyone who’d like to fly but doesn’t have a glider.  For those of you with electric planes, the contest rules allow for up to a 5 minute runtime, which is enough to get just about any old thing up to speck height.

This will be my first flight of the season, and I suspect other folks are in the same boat.  Be sure and cycle your transmitter/receiver/flight packs in advance, and give your plane a good inspection before putting it up in the air.  There will be plenty of opportunities for practice flights before and between rounds, so you can get your thumbs warmed up too.

Hope to see you there.

Doug
