Thanks to Tom
Koszuta and all of the Western New York Soaring and Electric Flyers for inviting
Reece and I to attend their contest yesterday. It's the first time I've flown
UNL in about 18 months and boy does it show! I had a great day, met a lot of
good people and will definitely be back
Gordy, I believe postmark time is not the bottom line, when it gets to McCarthy
is the bottomn line. Check me out on this.

Hi Dave,
If you check sub paragraph 1.4, on page 9 of the rules
posted on the Masters website, you see in very fine print that all entries
received on the same day
The check is in the mail... ;-)

I agree.
But
The World Soaring Masters was not meant to be a World Championship. The use
of World in the name is meant to make it an invitation to the world's soaring
pilots to come and compete. We do have many pilots from around the world that
will be coming to compete against
I guess you are assuming an American will win this event... ;-)
P.S. From some of the people I hear that are attending, that might not be
the case.

For those of us not fortunate (???) enough to live within a reasonable distance of Muncie, when will entry confirmation go out? Travel arrangements are already tough to make, and I don't plan to make mine until I know I'm in. Are you making any arrangements with the local hotels for good
Daryl Perkins wrote:

I'm with you D. I'm a bit skeptical of it being called the Masters too.
Not that there won't be several there, but it's open to any and all.
It should require some sort of qualifying.

If you don't like it then don't come. It is what it is, and if you care to get
some sponsors together and put on a large, well organized, fair, contest and
call it what you want, then have at it.

Hear Hear Daryl! It is also presumptuous not to qualify it as a MOM UNL TD
contest title that it is not representative of all model soaring.

Today I hit airline limbo when I got to Louisville Airport to catch a short
hop thru Chicago to Minne.
After scrambling to get my F5J Sp400 Pulsar 2005 and my Pike Perfect loaded
into my Sportube for battle this coming weekend in Munciethe steak I had on
the BBQ was done to perfection.
Gordy, any truth to the rumor that you have sold your Pikes so you can sponser
Jo's trip, housing and all his required liquid refreshment ?
If true, does that mean you will fly your new Super Ava ? I suppose that could
also mean no sun in Muncie that weekend.
Comments Gordy.
