Over half a dozen people braved the unseasonable no-skis-required, but windy enough to fly backwards New Years Day tradition. Temps were around 30°, with 20+mph winds, gusting to 35. Danny was first up in his bipe, which took about 3 feet to get airborne. His slow passes sometimes went farther backwards than forwards! Nik was next up with his new Stryker. It penetrated the wind with ease and downwind passes were a blur! Ed Bradley attempted to fly his drainpipe & corrugated plastic plane, only to tumble wingtip over wingtip on takeoff 5x farther than it flew! By then, Dan McLaren got a fire started in the barrel under the protection of our shed. Coffee and sloppy joes by Roz by the fire warmed everyone up. John & Jase Dussia showed up shortly after and flew their 50cc Yak. They traded off the transmitter to each other as their fingers began to freeze, but still put on a good show!
