Friday Noon Update

Ok folks, the Austin 3DBash is heating up. Weather is 85, sunny, slight breeze.

Conditions for maiden flights are perfect, and there have been two maidens so far!
[MENTION=2667]FlyMike1[/MENTION] maidened his (new to him) Pilot 107" and [MENTION=3]GYRO[/MENTION] maidened his newly built 104" EF Extra.

Here are some pics of the happy pilots! :)

Nope, Tim is not here yet, so no plane to build.

Just FYI, there will be plenty of food over the next two days. 2 dinners and breakfast on Saturday. Very nice facility.

That is how its done. I feels its best to do everything you can to take care of the people who make an effort to make the event great. Great job!
