Thanks to Tom (I bet I can out climb you in 2 minutes Steve) Siler, and Jerry ( Who decided on a13 minute max?) Shape for a excellent contest.
There was very little easy air at Muncie yesterday.On my first flight of the day Johnny Berlin and I chased each outer across the sky for 13 minutes from thermal to thermal. We never did get very high, never too much above launch height. If you got up and out, you went very far down wind. It became a contest of guts to see how far downwind you dared fly. A lot of hero or zero flights. The landings got harder as the day went on and the wind picked up. I had my Graphite picked up and slammed down upside down in the landing zone. It shattered one half of my V-Tail. It can be fixed (thanks Tom!) Anyone out there have a V-tail for a Graphite Comp the might want to sell? It would not hurt to have a spare. Good to see all my buddies on a great day of soaring! Thanks to JR for all the support, and Marc for putting it all together. Can't wait till next year!
