coating rather than tape. According to Tim, the glider is holding up very well
and flies great.

"I attended the Fall Soaring Festival in
Visalia last weekend and took my Alulas with me. Three junior members from the
Seattle Area Soaring Society attended as well and flew the heck out of the
three servo version."
"Anyway, the one thing the kids tried was mounting
a towhook in front of the CG and running a line from the hook to an attachment
point on an IFO (a disk shaped fabric and carbon rod electric). That's right,
they successfully aerotowed the Alula!"
"In the attached photo, Rick
Helgeson is launching the IFO, Connor Laurel is observing, Michael Knight has
the Alula transmitter, Brendon Beardsley is launching the Alula, and Russ Young
is controlling the IFO." -Bill Kuhlman (excerpts from an Email -

John Araki of Makawao, Hawaii was inspired by his
aviary friends when finishing this Alula. What a beauty!

WEASELFEST ARCHIVES
This year's
Weasel-Fest was a hoot! We were fortunate to dodge two storm systems and the
weather cleared out both days to provide us with great flying conditions.
Saturday was spectacular; consistent 15 knot onshore winds and sunshine to
boot! Click here for a look back at this
year's flying festivities.
