Our October 17 launch was a great success. Twenty-two flyers posted 74 flights yesterday at the Hughes Farm under somewhat breezy but sunny conditions. Jeff Kajtsa was again top flyer with 11 flights. Bob Kaplow remains our overall 2021 flight leader with 57. Thanks to Bob Zurek and Mark Bundick for running the range, Bob Kaplow for our HPR launch system, and Philip Nubel for assistance in doing a certification flight. Our 572 total flights for the year leaves us 29 flights short of tying FVR’s all-time record of 601. Come on out for our last launch of the year on Sunday, November 14 and help us break that record!
