I finally found time and suitable weather to dist off my transmitter and planes. Of course the 0-1 MPH wind that was forecasted was more like 5+ MPH with gusts. The sun is far enough to the South now to allow landing from the East in the morning. |

I landed and came to a stop where the crossing had been attempted. I hoped to get a picture of them walking past the plane, but she would have nothing to do with it and blew at it (sounds like a sneeze) several times to voice her distrust and alarm. |

I have heard of full sized aircraft hitting deer on the runway, but this morning was my first encounter nearly hitting one with a model airplane on a runway only 100' long! |

Sadly, the D-7 was not flown. I hear it was for sale but I'd hate to buy it when I could build a kit or from plans. I did get the Aero-Star up a few times and it handled the winds much better than the Tyro did yesterday morning. |

Today was the club warbird rally but attendance was a little low due to double booking with a booth for an annual event put on by the city. Fortunately a few sould braved the strong winds and went aloft. |

Coming in for a landing. It glides a whole lot flatter than the Tyro and needs more roll out on the runway to come to a stop. I found myself crossing one end of the runway 10' off the ground with the motor off and leaving the far end still 10' up. |
