Are you ready for the Quincy Fly-in?

You may have noticed there has not been much talk about planning for the fly-in this year.  While  Ed, Kelley and Ray have been working hard behind the scenes they haven't felt the need to have all the planning meetings we've had in past years when holding the event at TLH.   We will need volunteers to pull it off though and I hope everyone will pitch in and help where they can.  Please take a few minutes now to fill out the voulunteer form . 

Looking forward to a fun event.

Hope to see you at Quincy on the 14th and 15th.

John

Max demonstrated crosswind….who came up with that? 
Notice Number: NOTC2240

Before an airplane is type certificated by the FAA, it must be demonstrated in flight to be satisfactorily controllable with no exceptional degree of pilot skill or alertness in 90° crosswinds up to a velocity equal to 0.2 VSO. This means a windspeed of two-tenths of the airplane’s stalling speed with power off and landing gear/flaps down. Regulations require that the demonstrated crosswind velocity be included on a placard in airplanes certificated after May 3, 1962. 
  
Read it for yourself on page 8-16 of the Airplane Flying Handbook available at-
