Drop "Bombs" and accuracy landing.

Break out your competitive spirit, because the sixth thing to do with your Remos is compete. Today, St. Charles Flying Service hosted a fly-in. Perfect weather, food, drink, music, good friends, and of course, airplanes. Part of the festivities included an accuracy landing competition, and a "bomb drop". We had a great time, but honestly, even I was surprised by the attention the Remos got. Several aspiring new aviators inquired as to what it took to learn to fly the Remos, and we got more than the usual interest in the GX. I want to persoanlly thank Max, Jim, John, Rick and Lou, as well as a couple of names I can't recall. I really appreciate your interest, and I enjoyed our flights. I have to admit, I really enjoy the reaction of my customers first flight in the Remos. I have never given a demo ride and have my passenger tell me they were disappointed in the aircraft. That says a lot considering the glowing reviews we've received from publications such as Flying, Plane and Pilot, and EAA's Sport Aviation. All in all, I had a great Saturday, wish you all could have been there. I leave you with this short video. A Light Sport Student in the accuracy landing competition.
