The flying conditions while I was there, Friday afternoon through Saturday, were the best I can remember in years. Light and variable winds on…   Read more»

We’re going on 3 weeks now that the ground has been too wet down here for concrete or asphalt, so I’m still expecting excellent conditions up there from a fire…   Read more»

Down here in the southern part of Denver we haven’t seen dry ground in a couple of weeks. Good for flying but tough if you are trying to finish building a parking…   Read more»

I assume barring more significant rain we probably don’t need to rush any new rocket paint jobs?

Any plans to make these for Pro38’s as well? Are they reuseable? Any info you guys have published on them that you could link would be awesome. Thanks!
