FLASH, the Cheesetown Throw Down is ON!!!

Rob's late night glider mods have netted him some 44 second flights, he is currently less than 1 second behind Kagan.  Buxton has test flights in the 46 second range.  All are waiting for calmer air this evening for a full fledged throw down in Cheesetown in limited catapult glider!

The kids have arrived and it is 100% a great time.  There are currently about 20 kids under 10 years old launching gliders all over the hangar and having a blast.

Here we see our host and the man to thank for setting this all up H.G. Frautschy introducing a youngster to a classic Hannan design.
Not only is he great with the little kids, but when one of the big kids gets a penny plane stuck really good, he can do this...

This view deserves another look...

Priceless...
I need to figure out video posting, which may go on Youtube, I have great video of Rob landing his Plantraco Biplane on top of the blimp to the delight of the crowd.  Most. Fun.  Ever.

Lunchtime!
