So far the weather reports for this weekend look great!
Sat - 64°, sunny, 5mph winds
Sun - 68°, partly sunny, 9 mph winds
The BattlePark missed the snow today. 25 miles south they got 10 inches!
Lets hope the forecast holds, but it usually doesn't that far out. Who knows, it might get better!

It's Thursday night and the forecasts are getting a little more accurate.
Saturday is looking better and better! Mid 50º with 5mph winds from the north, clear skies and no chance of rain. Can't get much better then that.
See ya all at the field.

I've heard there is a hotel (Comfort inn?) close by that offers a discount for our group. Is this true? Which Hotel?
See you all there. I can't wait.
I'm on the road. If the field is too muddy to fly, somebody please call me at 434-603-1586. See you at the field.

I don't know of any discounts from any hotels for the launchs, but that is something we may be looking into.
Glad Kevin made it today. Definitely not muddy. Almost wish it was a little soft, I broke a fin today!
Great turnout. I counted 32 cars and a motorcycle at one point. I would estimate we had about 100+ people show up.
Tomorrow should be just as good, or better. The temps should be 10 degrees warmer, high 60s and no clouds. Winds might be slightly stonger, but it was almost dead calm by 3PM today so a little more wouldn't be a problem.
See ya all out at the BattlePark in the morning!
BTW, Mike is planning on flying his 3/4 scale Patriot on an M tomorrow.
