OK, so after having flown with and against the DP man for a few
years, and paying attention to this list and his pet peeves, it has
become painfully clear that there is a soft underbelly to the D man....
drum roll please.......
If you show up at the next contest with a wing servo install that
convinces Daryl that he has 3.5 extra grams per servo unnecessarily
built into his wing, then he will have that nagging at him as he
shoots yet another picture perfect approach and pushes at exactly the
right time to nail the hunski..........Of course all of that is
negated by the fact that there is a dollar or two riding on the score
;-) Its all about the buck.
Chuckling out loud in So Cal. Guess I had better get back to work.

Well... uh.... yeah... that'd be me. But I'm quite
anal about where the weight in my model is placed. I
don't like weight in the extremities of any of my
models. Ever notice how a model with heavy wingtips
seems like the fin isn't large enough?
I have to tell you guys something funny... last flight
at both Visalia 05, and the SWC 06, I flew with 1 1/2
pounds ballast on my last flights. I didn't need any
landing points... so I just wanted to minimize the
risk of NOT getting to a thermal....
But I still don't build unnecessary weight into any of
my models... I can always add it...
