DFW Lite Flyers Club 393

Well, my dad and I were planning to go to Oshkosh this year until he told me that he could not make it. He told me if I wanted to go, I needed to find a ride.. I am asking to see if any of you are planning to go this year and might have a empty seat. You will not be responsible for me, I would throw in some money for extra gas and pay for all my stuff and bring my own tent etc..  I hope it is not to late.. If you could please help me out, post on here or email me at sethjackson06@yahoo.com . I appreciate  for all who could help.

Happy Flying,

Seth Jackson

The club voted to fly out for our August event. We will fly-out this month to Stephenville. We are planning to depart Propwash around 10:00am Saturday the 14th for a meeting and lunch at the Hard 8 BBQ restaurant at noon.

This week I will “finally” be transporting my weedhopper project to propwash. It’s pretty much done. I’m still down a few bolts, but my hope is that I can bring it out there and meet up with Jeff Mountain to get a few bolts, and have others take a good look at it to make sure everything is in line. The photos below don’t show a whole lot as the airplane doesn’t really look like an airplane without the wings installed.

After months of racking my brain I finally figured out what was slowing down our website so much. I had a plugin installed that did content protection, basically making it impossible for people to copy and paste text from our site to some other place. It was slowing us down a huge amount. It’s now GONE! There really is no need for such a function, who cares if people copy our site.

Anyway, I also updated our website to WordPress 3.0 – You won’t notice the difference unless you are a member and are logged into the administrative back-end of the site. A few things now look different.

Hopefully the increase in speed will help our the website traffic and bring in more people, which equates to more members.
