  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

A roof is a roof, there is always free paving stones and stuff around from someone doing a yard reno, cheap flooring.

Good to see more of the bird in the air. Next year will be the flight plan for Chestermere International.

One exercise I used to do in the Luscombe was to set the throttle to 1800 and slowly pull back on the stick and see how high the nose would go before she tumbled. Dad and I would make a competition out of it. lol

yep for sure, im not sure how long the situation will last, Chestermere is right there, it may get gobbled up in the next few years and then i will have to move. It will work for now while i save some bucks to put up my own shed big enough for an airplane

i was pretty surprised how high the nose went before it tumbled on the mono, it indicated 20mph, which cant be accurate (speed wise), but it indicates 20 every time, so even though i dont think that airspeed is correct, it is consistent, and i know where the line is so to speak. I also thought of the possibility that because it only idles down to 800-1000rpm, combined with the bigger prop, i may be getting some thrust, and its not really a true power off stall
