Steve wrote this for the weekends work parties.

The decking party did a fantastic installation job over the weekend. S and H arrived at 8:00 this morning and were impressed with the clubs progress and abilities. They completed the final adjustments to the left wing and added the remaining structural supports. S and H will bend (4) more radial supports to go between the main radials which had too much span, allowing some flex in the boards. They will return in about a week to install them. The ramp is ready for flight and we didn't miss any good days. Whew!

Eric Donaldson & Jeff Nibler are shown here installing the last board on the flat part of the radial ramp, with James Anderson, Ollie Gregory, and Mike Nash enjoying the view. As you can see, Sunday was a much better/ prettier day for working, than on Saturday.
Nate Newkirk tightening the last nut of the day.
What a thing of beauty.

Kathy Lee has been replaced by the young lady below. This little lady has more wit, humor, and character than alot of adults. And to quote the late Steve Irwin, " And what a little beauty". However, I don't think she is strong enough to throw anything over the edge of the bluff. Private joke there, :^}

About 30 minutes after the radial's flat part had been finished, Eric Donaldson had the privilege of being the first one to launch any part of the new ramp. Both wings have yet to have the lumber installed on it, however, it was still the first one.

Less than 3 minutes later, Nate Newkirk followed close behind Eric. Both had great launches.
