Same here. I'm one of the youngest in my club at the age of 30. Yet oddly being one of the youngest I'm one of the few in the club that builds.

Great time and great hospitality!! They make you feel at home while you enjoy the beautiful field and area around it! If your close it is definitly worth the trip!

Even if you're not close, it's worth the trip!

Went out with @emtp275 @Paul Puszynski for some mid week hijinks. Half way through my first flight with the ultimate engine died and made a dead stick. Though I had leaned the dl50 to much so pulled cowl richened the needles refired the engine and after a brief idle warmup was reaching to hold the top wing when full throttle hit. Hit the kill switch immediately no damage. Servo only moves from 3 quarter to full on the stick. Stay tuned!
Interesting huh @ChickenBalls !

Quick thinking Bart! Glad all is well. Donnie's "incident" was a real good lesson learned!

Yep. Was hoping to dig into the fuse and see what was going on this afternoon but family stuff got in the way, but in a good way. Going to try to look tomorrow morning before heading out early PM to visit family over the weekend in VA. Ben will be hanging around having one of his going away parties with his buddies so any GSN buddies in the area are welcomed. Picked up a bunch of "Boston Butt" for the smoker and I understand a Keg and other "adult" beverages will be involved @ChickenBalls @emtp275 .

He just txt me, I'm in for a few beers, don't think my system is ready for full blown throw down.
