FAA TRUST Test

Well, thanks to the Las Vegas Drone Club we finally finished the carpet on the new pad today. Chris and his team did a fantastic and very quick job of trenching the carpet edges in and cleaning up. Next job is to develop flight patterns that don't interfere with runway operations. Awesome job Chris. We shouldn't have a wind problems now and find the carpet in a big bunch again.

Runway replacement has been completed except for some cleanup and table carpeting. The field is open again and the heli/quad pad is usable but not totally completed.

Received from Chuck TInder:

Because of my cancer I am unable to continue my participation in the LVSC. My biggest impediment is my inability to drive the car while on chemo drugs which is all the time. Consequently, I have some items priced to sell that I purchased late last year at Friendly's and haven't used yet this year. I have a Phoenix 5 Flight Simulator for $50, a Specktrum DX6 Transmitter for $150 and an E-Flight Safe Apprentice plane with many extras and spare parts in a too...

A great morning to be flying until the cloud cover turned grey and made seeing planes difficult, or in my case, impossible.

My Sport Cub disappeared shortly after takeoff and was heading just about due North when I lost visual contact.

So, the next time you are doing your 'walk of shame', I'd really appreciate it if you'd be on the lookout for the cub.

The glue up is moving nicely.

From past experience, I think this is a good spot to switch gears and move to checking placement of the electronics. This makes it a lot easier since there aren't any tight spots that reject  fat fingers. I will also be able to make early adjustments to ensure the integrity of the COG.

I've started another park jet;  this one's  going to be an SU37. The cutout is done.

It  looks like a  hot mess but  it's only 19 pieces; another depron cut out, score, and fold park jet. I'll start the  glue up as soon as I get a couple of carbon fiber rods delivered. The  plans came from

I just posted a video of Leon and his Osprey RC aircraft at the field after the meeting on Saturday the 10th. It's an awesome machne and certainly impressed everyone there when it flew.
