Text Box: I hope everyone has had a safe month.
By this time, we should have completed the inspection of our model airplanes and repaired anything that was wrong.  If not repaired, they should have a tag on them identifying the required repair or parts that are needed for the repair.
A safe attitude, not a safe altitude, is probably the most important item we can pack into our flight boxes. You can put a ton of safe attitude in your field box and it will not add any extra weight. Conversely, you can also put a ton of bad (don’t give a rip) attitude into the flight box and it may add more weight than you can imagine.
I know that most of us don’t go the field with the idea of sticking a finger into the propeller, or have an airplane get away from us in the pits, but how often do we think about the steps required to avoid such things?
Just some things to think about as you throw the Belch Fire Super 
into the car for a day at the field.
Summer is coming, so they tell me, and with more people at the 
field it is even more important to have the Safe Attitude in the field box 
and under your hat.
Remember that Bad Attitudes and Bad Altitude have one thing in 
common, Bad things.
Be Safe.
