Joining the CLUB
I am joining the Memphis Propbusters this saturday. They are a good bunch of guys. There are about 114 members and they have one of the best flying fields that I have ever seen. I will also get free flight lessons which will help me to not destroy my plane while I am learning. I am hoping my Cub will survive so I can do a complete recovering over the winter. Right now I am just patching the covering back together with blue tape. I am planning a radical new covering job if I do not destroy it while I am learning to fly.
Pics from the Propbusters flying field 10/8/2011
Here are some pics I took on my visit to propbusters field. They were having a training day for people who wanted to see if they really liked to fly and maybe wanted to get into the hobby. There were also several members there just flying their planes.

Really large Spitfire. It had a 4 stroke on it but not sure what size. It sounded really good though. -
