Don't fib. You're just trying to understand how the new G30 works. :clown:

Yes the wings & alot of other parts move & also expand and shrink due to temperature change.
Back still mediocre but still planning to come.
There should just be a 'flying physics' thread for Flying Wedge to respond to all questions. For instance, why does it appear that the wings 'shake' a bit when flying. Is it just an illusion, or does the wing really shake/bend/etc?
But as for this outing, I'm pressing on a good friend of mine from Cedar Rapids to 1) join the forum, and 2) come to this outing. So hopefully that will be at least one more.
Have we decided between the haunted house and motel? Or Lames?
Wing flex happens so as to allow the wing to carry the weight of the aircraft thru all atmospheric conditions (turbulence). A heavy aircraft with a rigid wing in turbulence would provide for a back breaking ride. Allowing the wing to flex provides for a smoother ride. The wing also contains almost all of the fuel on the aircraft. The video below will show what the wing is capable of. In fact on the new generation Boeing 787, the composite material used on the wings will just about allow the wing tips to touch before they break.
I think if we keep bumping this and spreading the word, we can get a decent turnout. As for as lodging, I will that up to the group attending, I will be staying at home. So if someone wants to take charge of coordinating lodging. That would be great. I am playing Coldwater Creek this Saturday and will speak with them about tee times.
I hope you can make it buddy, an MC champion in the house!!!This is now on my radar. Going to have to see what the wife has to say, but any excuse to tee it up with THPers is worth begging for.

She's considering it!! Did we find lodging at all or figure cost for Sunday's round yet?

Yea, bribes definitely work! Usually, it takes two things for the Fall outings for me. A money matching donation to my wife, and usually some sort of statement that it might be my 'last hurrah' in golf for the season. Probably won't be this year since I have my own golf cart now, but yea, bribes. Or tell her that you have to play for a chance to win some Noodle Long and Soft Balls!

Come join us for what is becoming a regular end of the golfing season unofficial event! 54 holes of prime Iowa golf surrounded by great THP Friends and fun. This event last year had a great turn out. We are returning to Coldwater Creek for the 2nd year. This links style course was enjoyed by all!
New this year is Honey Creek. This hidden gem of Central Iowa golf is always in top notch shape. Honey Creek is 2 totally different nines. The front nine is relatively flat and tree lined but open. The back nine is tighter and more hilly. You drop down into a valley over holes 10 and 11. Then work your way back up. Pictures can be found started the bottom of the linked page. http://www.thehackersparadise.com/f...Southern-Iowa-Get-Together-Summer-2014/page79
So clear your calendars, bribe your significant others and tell your bosses you gotta go! You won't want to miss this year end blow out as only THPr's can do it.
