I personally didn't get to fly today.  I did fondle some of my gliders
though.  I moved them from one storage area to another.  It was loads of
fun.  Anybody needing a picture or two, email me privately  I'll send lots
of them.

Hi guys!

 

Dave invited me over to his magnificent flying site today to do some
soaring.  The conditions started out kind of hot but a light breeze kicked
in and things got really comfortable.


Dave and I put up about a dozen flights each, shooting for 10min flights and
of course with a landing tape too ...which led to a landing for quarters
challenge!


I should have known better, because Dave is an excellent stick and practices
a lot too.  He hit 95+ landings most of the evening!  I managed one perfect
100 dead on the second to finish off a 10min flightno skeg even!  

I was flying the Sharon, and he was flying the Shadow...I have to tell you I
was very much impressed with how the Shadow launched!  Dave has an
auto-launcher, with is a bit spooky to use at first but you quickly realize
that it doesn't make a mistake and the model is really moving from the
moment the mechanism decided to let the winch line take possession of the
model.

 

I got a chance to peek at his inner sanctum (shop where he builds all your
guys sailplanes). ...super tidy, I guess that's why his builds are so
perfect!

 

A fun day had by all.

 

Thanks Dave!

Gordy

[RCSE] American support/F3J trip to Turkey

2008-07-17 Thread Richard Burnoski
  American support   



I as well as the USA team have been overwhelmed with all your support. Both you 
guys that invested in the team wares as well as the manufactures who donated 
soaring goods to the raffle. 

Some interesting first time team reflections as I awaited my name to be called 
to fly. I was never nervous at all... The years and years of practice 
prepared me for what I needed to do. But as my name was called to fly, a 
certain feeling of pride came over me that I never felt before I knew that 
I wasnt flying my flights just for me and the USA team of seniors, but I was 
flying for you guys too The good old U.S. of A. That feeling was a bit 
intense! I truly just tried to do my best and not do anything stupid! 
Thanks again for supporting the TEAM,, Richard Burnoski

And we're all proud of you , and the rest of the USA Team, for representing
US (that would be us and the US). Well done by all, it can't be easy
competing at that level.
