Had a good time this morning at the Labor Day Float Fly.  That's all we have scheduled at the pond for 2013.  Here are a few pics from later in the day.

Conditions were really nice, but the weeds had gone mad since July 4th and the water was quite a bit lower making launches were a bit precarious.  Plenty of good flying, though, and even a few major splash downs.

Feel free to post up anything you've got from any of this year's Float Flies.  Here's my shots from today starting with Bill Walters' big 4-stroke Cub.

Here's Jon's GoPro powered glider and Jake Boatman's SeaTrojan.  Jake got crossed up on take off with Jon trailing him, and things looked hair for a second.   Shocked

Also shown is Steve Koll's PBY.

Jon, you rock!  I've been dying to see the video.  I'm stoked with the result.
