Hi all,


I attended the Copperstate fly-in this weekend, just returned home this
morning. Ive uploaded some photos to my website:

It was a very nice event with a good turnout. However; I was the ONLY Q2
there and there were no Dragonflies. I am continually amazed at the number
of fliers/attendees that have never seen a Q2 and the amount of interest in
generates.


There were a couple of Soob powered planes but I didnt get a chance to talk
to any of the owners. Maxwell was there with their Soob powered Glastar
looking as good as ever.


I was asked to fly in the showcase flights and did so Saturday afternoon at
1:45pm. Was kinda warm but I made some racket anyway.


It was a strange year as they changed the dates such that the event ended on
Saturday. I was amazed at how many people left by Saturday afternoon the
ramp looked only about full.

Some very pretty airplanes out there. How high do you fly on these
trips?
Thanks for posting the pix!

Hi Brucie!

I went the northern route from Mid Valley to Show Low, AZ to Casa Grande, AZ
(E98 - SOW - CGZ).
