“Another beautiful day in the neighborhood,” as Mr. Rogers used to say. We had a good array of electric jets, thanks to Mike Light, Harold Anderson, and Leonard Baker. Steve Jakubiszyn had a great running OS .95 on his “4-60”; Don Haines got some stick time in with two foamies; Bob McFadden and Leonard Baker had their usual good flights on their gassers. Dan Nicar made his presence known up and down the flight line, and Tom Regan showed us things that an Ugly Stik shouldn’t even be capable of doing. Harold Anderson was kind enough to let me get some flight shots of my new OS-powered “4-40”. I’m happy to say it flies just like the other planes in the “Doc” Mathews series of designs from the 80s—in a word—“Well”! Here are a few shots of its maiden voyage. Good weather is forecast for tomorrow also, so join the group while you can!
