PROPELLER "OUCH" STORIES

The Lake Sawyer Hawks fly on floats near Seward Park on Thursday mornings. One of their members tried to grab a Timber, who's throttle went full forward after the transmitter was dropped. He grabbed the wing, and the plane whipped around and the prop got him in the wrist. It cut an artery, resulting in a LOT of blood and quick first aid (with a a tourniquet!), followed by a ride in the ambulance. He is OK now, but it could have been much worse without quick action.

Mowing Schedule

Our normal mowing schedule is shown on the lower right side of the Home page of our website, as follows:

The field is closed to flying when mowing is in progress. Mowing must take precedence when our volunteer groundskeepers come to the field to mow.
When permitted by weather and availability of our volunteers, mowing is scheduled at these times:

Monday or Tuesday Mowing 11:30 am - 1:00 pm.

Friday Mowing 3:00-5:00 pm

Open House Saturday!!

From 9:00 - 4:00, and the forecast is looking good!

Please bring your best stuff to show off for the public. We will be letting them a little ways into the pit area for a closer look at things. We'll keep them behind the tables, so your flying won't be affected.

SupaTim Hanstine of Northwest Hobbies will be there to fly some of his big, very aerobatic stuff. His 3D routines are an inspiration, even if you're not a 3D pilot.

Lessons Learned, Instructors, and Fun

Lessons from a recent crash outside our boundary
Instructors needed for Training Tuesdays
Our rules, Simplified
Mount Rainier club summer events

New (or old?) Lessons Learned:

Outfits like the military and airlines strive for a modern safety culture. One that is NOT punitive, so that lessons can be shared, for obvious benefit. I'm sharing this with the blessing of the pilot who had a recent accident.
