Quick recap on the details: When: Friday, December 12, 7:30pm Where: 13092 Rose Petal Cir, Herndon, VA 20171 If you hit Dakota Lakes Dr from Frying Pan (from the North), we're the second Rose Petal Circle on the right; if you hit Dakot...

Yes, there's a chance...

I'm out for this year, but I'm going to try very hard to get back in the air next Spring.

Thanks Shawn - likewise!

Congratulations to those pilots that won brand new wind socks in the fly-in raffle. I promised that I would post instructions for building a wind sock mast; then I remembered: I already did that, 6 years ago, when I wrote an article in Skyline: http://www.chgpa.org/skyline/skyline_2002-07.pdf That a...

The problem with joint membership only occurs if you sign up through MHGA, since Bob hasn't sent us (CHGPA) any information. (Which reminds me, I still need to track that down...)

~Ralph

I sent out Pulpit Stickers to everyone that I have listed as a current member in the CHGPA database. They went out before July 4th, so everyone should have them.

IF YOU DID NOT GET A STICKER, AND YOU THINK THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE, LET ME KNOW ASAP!

I was doing a color print job at Kinko's; I hadn't considered having it done as a "photo", but I guess 20x30 might be big enough (though I consider 20x30 to be a little on the small side for a poster...)

~Ralph

Any poster that I print would be a one-off, and would cost about $100 a copy, regardless of how many copies I get printed; additional copies don't actually help to "defray the cost". (sorry) Actual cost: 24"x36" would be $90; 36"x48" would be $130; note: 24"x36&quo...

I can probably come up with a decent poster. I'll look in to printing costs at Kinko's.

I believe Matthew has the majority of the hand outs, from the last event.

~Ralph

Way cool! Do you know where to get the actual font (so I can install it on my computer)?

~Ralph

Yeah, because I have nothing else do with my time... :-) ================================================================ from: markc (01/31/2006 23:57) ================================================================ Here's a site that's selling a pretty cool HG-mosaic poster: http://www.svs-design...

I won't be sending out Pulpit stickers until February; I'm waiting until after the meeting, when we've completed the majority of the membership renewals. ~Ralph ================================================================ from: theflyingdude (01/20/2006 08:32) ===================================...

I just looked at it; in 2002 they list the introduction of the WW Falcon-2 - but the picture is a Falcon-1! (looks like my old glider, except that I never had a fin for it) ~Ralph ================================================================ from: Spark (01/19/2006 17:44) ========================...

I think that what Rich was referring to was that HR did have a wooden launch deck at one time; but it was burned down by some of HR's non-flying "visitors". It was then replaced with the concrete deck that we have today. I'm not sure - this would have been way before my time; do I have my ...

Sorry for the intrusion - testing a new e-mail address.

Thanks,
Ralph

You're right; so they did put my name by it. But they never asked me if they could use it for that before they did. Oh well.

Just a reminder, time is running out to order your 2006 CHGPA (or Fifi) calendars! http://www.chgpa.net/calendar/ Please try to get your orders in before Thanksgiving, so that there is enough time for me to produce them and ship them to you before Christmas!

Any other takers or other site...

So when are you actually going to learn how to foot-launch gliders? ~Ralph ================================================================ from: Richard Hays (11/08/2005 17:14) ================================================================ Well.....I was just informed that the USHGA cannot issue ...

Yeah, remember the Falcon's polar? You can dive straight down and still not reach VNE... (see: http://www.willswing.com/articles/Article.asp?reqArticleName=PolarData - note: VNE = 48mph) ~Ralph ================================================================ from: brianvh (10/31/2005 16:14) ========...
