Never thought I’d get the chance to own an Aeroic plane! I saw it Thursday when @Wayne and the Aloft guys were unpacking and immediately started to bug him about selling it to me. On Sunday morning as I was walking over to their campsite he started walking toward me holding it and I knew I was going home with it! Wayne always treats his friends and customers right!! BTW….sorry @Tahoed

Just a quick post for now -
What a great time! Thank you to everyone for making this yet another great gathering! So many great folks, so many flights, so many great conversations and some great food! (I officially request Red shows up to all events and smoke some more tri-tip!) And a special shout out for the dogs in attendance, was great to get some fur people time in since my pup was not with me.
We may have had some down time with poor wind direction and the rain, but wow did it pay us back with some great conditions after!! WOW! so much fun.
OK - I got to run and get caught up at the office. More later..

No, because my, "friend," thought it would be HILARIOUS if he dive bombed my Weasel and he knocked my canopy and battery right out of the compartment. I somehow found the canopy and Weasel but the battery was somewhere else, which ended my quest for the railslide. Next time for sure.
Great hanging with you, buddy.

Great to meet you. You are one of the family now, so that means you are obligated to attend all future events in perpetuity.

Duke had one of the best weekends of his life. He had a blast the entire time and will be there next year for sure. I'll just 3x the tick meds. Ha.

Right on, buddy. I had a really good time hanging with you. Was very cool to meet the lady and your kid as well. I hope you make it to future events.

I will definitely be doing my best to participate in any and all events going forward!
Also, what would be the best way to let people know if I am planning on going out to Sunset while we are visiting family down there in the future?

With all that momentum of flying that weekend I made it to Tick Point to maiden a couple planes and fly my Jester. It was ripping out there with some very strong winds in the right direction. You can see on that second pic how Tick Point got its name. Luckily I didn't have to pull any off of Duke. I don't have any action shots as Duke has been a very slow learner with the camera and it's just a bunch of pics of squirrels.

How did the Yamaha fly?

The Yamaha was super cool and looks ridiculously good in the sky, but it was a bit too windy to really feel it out without any ballast. It's a fairly light plane and is probably in its element in 10-12 mph winds or so but I'm not sure... Still very new. I was able to penetrate but it was getting blown around a bit and I'd guess the winds were at about 20mph. It rolls absolutely beautifully... It just looks incredible. The Jester was screaming through the wind and it's the most time I've had with that plane so far. The North to South passes were insane. The Camp and Fly was only my second time flying the Jester, so having it up for an extended period today was awesome.
