Yeah, what was even more impressive about your 100 point landing was i just stuck one about 3'' from the spot right before that.
Darn you! (i'm never going to sleep tonite now) Back out tomorrow shooting landings. :-) (my work is never done) Had fun, thx!

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 flight....no 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 Next stop the contest in Lansing this weekend...er I mean more beaches ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get the scoop on last night's hottest shows and the live music scene in your area - Check out TourTracker.com!
