Unfortunately, the bitter temperatures prevented some of the engines from starting. Danny Osborn and Brian Thomas both got theirs running long enough for a flight. The rest of us warmed up the electrons and took the skies with our WMPF Makos. Sloppy Joes, Chili Dogs and chips were made by Roz, which everyone enjoyed! Thanks for coming out everyone! Pics are online here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/112847063@N04/sets/72157639322592914/

Our objective is twofold: First, to build an advanced trainer for club use. Second, to get our members comfortable with building a kit, rather just arf's. Kit building seems to be becoming a lost art, one that we need tro keep going. We chose a Carl Goldberg Tiger 2 .60 kit, generously donated by Rider's Hobby Shop of Grand Rapids.

Several WM members were there through the evening working on miscellaneous projects, but only a few KRAM showed up this time. Nik did an engine swap on his GP 40 Ultimate, putting on a Saito 82. That should rip the wings off nicely! Jared and his grandfather brought in a nice pattern plane with a YS engine and pipe they got from an auction for $75. It looked in pretty good shape and just needed a little TLC! Butch wants everyone to know that anyone is welcome down there any Tuesday night to work on their projects or ask questions.

Our next build night would be on March 1st, but that is meeting night...so stay tuned for details when plans get nailed down! As always, if you have any comments or suggestions about future Build Nights, please let us know!

Had about 8 folks show up & a good time was had by all.

Jim Korringa brought his glider wing with internal rib damage. He & Lee Lubbers did a great job repairing it all the way to covering it. Dave Pierce brought his Bucker Jungmeister in-progress fusalage with a small issue that can be resolved with a little bit of work. George Orphan brought his Uproar 40 & we set all the throws & such. Nik brought his F-15 to make some modifications from the plans. Allen Simpson & Ed Buck provided comic relief through the evening.

It was great to have everybody here, hope to do it again.

It was held at Brann's on S. Division as was last year. We had a great turnout, pretty much filled the room. This year we had 2 special guests; Bill Oberdieck & his wife Joany made the trip from the Detroit area. Bill is our AMA District 7 VP. He was there for a presentation to our guest of honor, Larry Brannan. Larry is our outgoing AMA area VP after many years of fine service. Larry is a KRAM member as well. Lee Frederickson will be succeeding Larry in area VP duties. It was a great evening of good food & good friends.
