Doing data entry just now and thought of a concept for my silly plane build for Sunset 2026.

i like this landing pad idea. Would work on the north side in the bushes at sunset:

scratchless !!!

Would be easy enough to try out. But I suspect the "stiff" bushes in the landing area are still going to be stiff, you just won't be able to see them. Would be a good thing to have over the sand in the inner area to keep some of the sand out of the models??

I think that the canvas will make a smooth and compliant surface,
the branches will cease to behave as obstacles with sharp features

Would just need to be heavy duty enough to not get punctured. Dont think a tarp would be thick enough

Good Idea but, might want to check with our park spies that sit in their trucks (rangers), on the North Hill, looking at our planes flying. They might not understand that we are trying to protect their bushes from damage. We could also setup a 'Volleyball net" for catching planes in the main landing area - the rangers might not notice that, its a beach after all!

Upstate New York - the morning after Winter Storm "Fern."
We got our snow cleared.
Storm wasn't as bad as we thought it would be.
Shots from the back yard where we clear a path with snowblower for dog to run around in.

Now back to the Balsa Dungeon.

Just for grins an giggles, looks like the last time Jim and I flew at Sunset was 2007.
Man-o-man. I'm here to tell you those 19 years went by fast.
Anyone recognize the yellow glider?

What is all of that white stuff on the ground? Dogs happy to be outside!

 

[G-man]

Ya know what? We're all happy to be outside. Summer or Winter.
Considering the alternative.

Right you are. These the Dave's Aircraft Works version, the kit now made by Magnum RC Models.
For a couple decades a "Don't leave home without it" slope sailplane.

Whatever happened to Magnum? The website has been down for a few years. I still have his F5 model sloper.

So we need a shirt design - Anyone want to volunteer? I have done a few of them, but just do not have the time this year. Would be great to see some fresh blood step up. These days you can play with AI to get something.
