Counting the days!

 Hi folks

Well we are inching closer to departure day for team members, spouses and kids.  Several of us are leaving early to take in some "touristy" stuff before arriving to Warwick for the full competition. We are all flying into Brisbane Airport to start with although some of us are arriving on different dates.

 Last minute items are just finishing up ... getting some Australian money, setting up medical/travel insurance, making sure the Jeti RX's are compatible :-)... and Kelly is already checking inflight menus and drink selections so we must be close to departure.   

A big "Thank You" goes out to Doug Sewell for his kind donation towards expenses as well as Deszo Vaghy , former team member, for producing some excellent team stickers to give away to anyone buying us a beer (just kidding) ! Very much appreciated!

Deszo has moved on from competition flying to doing graphics as well as aerial videoing of properties for clients. You can reach Dezso's company Cut Vinyl Graphics at  cutgraphics.com and watch some of his youtube videos at https://www.youtube.com/@Reelmedia1

 

Michi has started to box up his planes and I suspect similar packing by Chad & Henry once the long weekend is over. I know Chad is at the lake dragging his son Thomas around in his new ski boat!  Hey he's practicing speed control and radius's :-)

I am taking several battery packs over for Michi so just doing some due diligence on what is acceptable for carry on. These are all under 100 WH, discharged and ends protected so should not pose an issue. I'll have the airline documentation ready when they inspect them. We've traveled with them many times in the past.

Once again we would like to thank the RCAA Comox Valley Club for their kind generosity in letting Michi practice at their field. It was a long drive but it certainly helped him prepare!
