30 This Schweizer 2233 scale sailplane was towed to the launch area with a strap by its pilot. It was of balsa construction with Monokote covering. Its pilot figure wore a cowboy hat, which is a nice contrast to the usual white sailor hat. R/C Soaring Digest
The temperature only got to 50 degrees and started downward soon after lunch. Many of the scale people packed up their equipment and headed off the hill. Some were headed home while other would be back the next day for more fun. The Monday forecast was for warmer conditions but light winds. I’m sure that the aerotows-to-altitude would make for very satisfying flights, even without much slope lift. Skip Schow of the Washington CASA Club was not at the hill on Sunday. Skip has been an organizer of the event for many years and is the primary reason for its success. I always look forward to sharing some conversation with him each year and the fun of the trip was diminished by his absence.

This scale-like ARF Alpina flew several times during the day. It had pop-up spoilers that were very effective on landing. It also tracked well on tow. December 2010 31
