‘Bob Says’ for January 2017
Gents:
2016 was a great year as we added several new members (6+) and activity in general was up at the lake last year. Monday flying sessions generally had 4 to 10 members and we were able to averaged 2 to 3 flying dates a month. We also were approved to add R/C boating back this year with great success, with a variety of boats seen at the lake. Thanks to the efforts of Steve B. we added an excellence club web site at: www.powayskimmers.org. Please take some time and visit our site to review rules and calendar of events.
Please remember to thank Terry T., Ferdinand C. and Mike M. for their site setup/break-down and safety officers duties. Their efforts made all those flying dates possible last year.
When the weather gets better I’d like to pick a Monday where we can encourage are members (and guests, see guest rules) to bring out their boats for a grand review of the Skimmers fleet. Note for some of our less sprite members, you can operate your boats from a chair on the shore and get assistance launching/retrieving your vessels. As always free advise (usually good, on any topic) is available in the pits area.
I always enjoyed the pits conversations and hope to determine this year;
- How much glue is really needed to hold on a wing tip float?
- Do SeaWind float plane’s really need wing tip training guides?
See you at the lake in 2017
Bob
