Lily Pond
Saturday, May 30
Five FCAM members and two KVMA members traveled to Lily Pond for a
nice day of float flying. Eric, Wayne, Lief, Bob Hines, Bob Chapman, Roland
and myself comprised the group. A warm day and a bit breezy but not too bad
for flying.
I arrived just after 7:30 from Eustis to find Eric already there and ready for
some flying. After we got the rescue kayak in the water for “just in case”, I
make a flight with my Polaris. Then Eric flew his Flyzone Beaver for the first
time from water. He did a very good job! Later he made the maiden flight with
his new Flyzone Tidewater. Again, a good flight!
Plenty of flying during the morning as the breeze came and then died. We
started the grills for lunch about 11:00 and served a bunch of 'dogs & rolls
along with onions.
After lunch, a few of us got in some more flying. I had eight flights total with
my Polaris, Polaris Ultra, and Seamaster II. Others flew CZ Cubs, Beavers,
Mentors, and Tidewaters. We were all packed up and leaving by 12:15.
Another great day at Lily Pond.
