SLOW Club Sunday Sport Flying

Of Course we did a bunch of sport flying today also.
Finally, I was able to fly my Jr. Nipper for the first time. It turns out to be a wonderful sport flyer. The used OS FP 20 I bought on eBay for $25.00 runs just great. And the Jr. Nipper turns tight and stays out on the lines really well. It managed to do inside and outside loops, inverted flight, lazy eights, vertical eights, wingovers, and overhead eights today. Not bad for the first three flights on a new plane. Thanks Jim Carpenter for the Yankee Nipper construction techniques.

Flying Tigers!

The Flying Tigers 4H Model Airplane and Model Rocket Club came to the Sky Lancers of Washington C/L Club Sunday Flying Session at the Goddard NASA softball field today. What a great experience it was. The Flying Tigers brought a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and energy to the field. The SLOW Club provided trainers and control line flying lessons and building assistance for the Flying Tigers. Everyone had a good time.
