Spring projects...

The twice-crashed Stearman hasn't seen the sun in a few years. She looks worse than this now.

These are the original pix from the ad on RC Universe. She came with an MDX 78 two-stroke. It seized and died, and she now sports a Magnum RFS XL91 four-stroke. She's in the shop without a rudder, waiting for some re-hinging and some body work. It's about 65" in span. Weighs 130 lbs or so, or at least it feels that way after carrying it to the line.

What's your spring project?

Maybe I will have time to get the Nieuport 17 in the air this summer.

With spring coming we should really look at getting together for some building and BS.

Flying this weekend

Hey all:

Once you get the hang of it, you'll see the benefit of the blog.

If I was addressing weekend flying in this post, it would go out to everyone signed up to follow the blog.

Responses, like mine & Dody's to these few test posts, can be viewed by all.

And we can include pictures!

Looking forward to warmer weather, and some sorties with the Jug!!!!

Beta testing the blog

Post number two.

Just putting up something to knock around.

Here's an example of an illustrated post.

19 degrees, wind chill about 5. 

Gee it's nice to see green hills.

Scarlett's still wearing her skis, but hasn't been out on snow this season. Now the runways are 50% grass.

Not to worry, March is the season of blizzards!

Keep 'em spinnin'

Welcome to the Cropdusters Blog!

February 2013---

Hello fellow Cropdusters, and welcome to the SVC blog!

Our hope is that we'll find this a handy communications media to keep in touch, especially for those important days when we want to know who will be at the field ready to fly!

If you're new to blogs:

"Blog" is a nickname for Web Log. As the name implies, it's similar to a log book, in that the author (or authors) of the blog can post messages. Readers of the blog can reply to the messages, and the replies are posted in a "chain".  This is similar to the way we broadcast an email, and responses to the email can be seen if the recipient clicks "Reply to All".

The difference is, you can subscribe to this blog, then when anyone posts something to it, you get notification in your email. This way you don't need to concern yourself with an address book or "reply to all". You enter your comment and everyone on the chain will see it posted simultaneously!

You'll catch on soon enough, I'm sure! If you need any assistance, don't be afraid to give me a call.

So here's our first post and your first look at the Cropdusters Blog.

Click on the "Follow" button, and you can receive updates whenever there's a new post or reply!


About the pages:

The main page is where posts and replies from members will appear.

The AMA District II Official blog is an internet link that takes you to the current blog for our district on the AMA website.

The Club and District Events page will display dates, times and locations of club events and AMA events in our area.


So have a look, drink it in, and send along any comments you have.

Keep 'em spinnin'.
