It's official.

The club is having the monthly meeting at the new field tonight. We have permission to fly there and the AMA has been notified of the addition of the field and the deletion of the Thompson land fill site. I still don't have any information on how to unlock the gate.
 I did a post mortem on the P-63 and found no problems with the control system. A few days later I was flying the Ringmaster 576 and got hit by wake turbulence on the same maneuver in the same place. The 576 was in a better state of trim and flew out of the upset. The hobby's best trimmer has been writing about trimming and I'm following his advice. It would have saved me a lot of trouble if he was doing things more like I do.
 I've been flying the A-36 lately trying to get that trimmed better. I had to go back to first base and slowly worked up to third base. The handle is even spaced and the control throws are pretty even. I've added an ounce to the tail and an ounce to the tip weight box. I have some fuel coming and had to call the engine guy as Sig stopped making the fuel he requires you run in the engine. Sig's 4 stroke fuel is equal so I got 4 gallons coming. Omega fuel is the same blend and I'm using that for the time being.
I installed a garage door opener last Friday. It actually works as advertised. I had to find some soft item to kneel on as I had to reduce myself to read the instructions from start to finish. Humiliating. I got the inside controller working and then the portable remotes and then the outside wireless controller working. The car has 3 buttons for extra controllers but I have enough working now.
 The registration runs out in late October. Tough titty CT.
