Wolfgang Ludwig with his semi-hot-liner. This little guy has about a 2:1 power to weight ratio and goes up like a rocket.
This is my brother-in-law "Uncle Chuck". He thought the field with all the turkeys, deer and walking trails was really great. He had a nice day or two coming out flying with me and meeting all the pilots. He is carving his "walking stick".
Steve Martinez and his Unlimited ship are really hard to beat.
Dan Jackman has all the photo toys you could ask for and he really knows how to use them. Alex Straub was taking tips and instructions so he could play with the camera. Dan, we need some of those photos for the web site.
Barney Bauer with a nice fast climbing electric. Every now and then Barney takes time out from flying his Blaster DHL to play with the electrics. I can not wait to see the "Hawk" fly, it is an accurate scale representation of a real hawk and looks outstanding.

Some Nice Shots Taken by Alex and Dan

Check out the hooked retriever line- Nice save Dick

Feb. Club Contest (Make-up)
Joe Schnur doing his best to keep us all in good spirits. Not sure that is coffee in the mug.
Wolfgang Ludwig and John Ferguson discussing the latest in electric airplane technology. Wolf winds the motors and John burns them up. Good relationship.
MUG SHOT.      Dan Jackman, Steve Martinez and "The Hutch".
Some of the planes on the ready line for the contest. It was an add-'em-up for 26 min in four flights. Really a lot of suck air today and a couple of rounds were 3 minutes for everyone. Weather broke at mid round three and 8 min max'es were the order of the day.
More planes
