Thanks everyone, for listening to me ramble about my Sonex customizations. As I mentioned, I have ~3,000 photos of the project and am always happy to provide info or answers to any questions.

Thanks again to Robbie for organizing today's event!

Take care,

--Noel

Hi Guys,

That was terrifying!!
My mouth dried out, my tongue swelled up and I could hardly speak. I didn't realize my stage fright was that acute :-) Other than that it was great.

Thanks Robbie.

Thanks everyone! We had over 50 participants today.

I really appreciate everyone being patient as we worked through some joys of modern technology.

Jeff, Billy, Noel and Wes thanks for showing us your projects and aircraft! No need for anyone to be nervous. You’re just talking to an electronic device and we happen to be listening!

Thanks for the opportunity to show my project yesterday. Hope I didn’t sound like an idiot. Billy

Billy,

No. You did not sound like an idiot.

I’m the one sitting in my airplane, canopy closed, talking to my iPad when other chapter members wandered in to the EAA hangar.

One thing I’ve learned from all of this isolation crap - it’s good to see people again when given the chance. Virtually, across the hangar, out on the ramp.....it’s just good for the soul.

We will do this again next week

:-( Yesterday proved the need for a WiFi extender into my garage workshop. Last week I got on briefly. This week - not at all.

For the duration of this event, yes. We will do one each week.

Graeme, I do the whole thing on cellular. I hot spot my phone, connect my iPad and have successfully hosted six different Zoom meetings from the hangar.

We have next week lined up. Once I confirm things, I will post the next virtual fly in.

I got 1.2 hours flying time today. Wind got a little sporty coming back to 1C5, and I can tell I’m rusty.
