Hi Rich, I think Mike Lachowski has a tester. I also have a winch tester, and I will bring it. We'll be out there on Friday, maybe even Thursday evening to check the place out. Thanks again to you and SOAR for putting on the event. See you soon.

[RCSE] Brett Farve and Mike Popescu?....Say it ain't so Joe!
I am retiring from flying this year and so my planes are becoming available Mike ( the old Esteem and Pelican designer ) By the way the Super Pelican made this guy Bordy to change diapers every round at the last contest in Orlando past spring. Sorry to hear that yet another great has decided to hang up his thumbs! For those of you who don't know Mike Popescu, his Grand Esteem and Pelican mark a turning point in our sailplane design and construction. A great contributor, a great guy and a top competitor...Mike was my personal mentor, and has been a best soaring friend since 1997 or so. We competed, broke bread, traveled and even slept together over the years (okay not together but in the same house and motels :-). The planes he just sold were extended span versions of his originals and really did fly as well as molded ships they were competing against in the last couple of years...of course they were under the talented and skilled thumbs of Thermal Wizard Extrodinaire...Mike Popescu! Below is a link to the article I did on Mike and his designs back in 1997. Take a read, you might just learn some history :-). Gordy Penn National Race Track in the morning, heading toward Virginia Beach. RCSD Dec 97 Stahl, Gordy Pelican design is evaluated and compared with Grand Esteem. _http://www.rcsoaringdigest.com/pdfs/RCSD-1997/RCSD-1997-07.pdf_ (http://www.rcsoaringdigest.com/pdfs/RCSD-1997/RCSD-1997-07.pdf) **Get fantasy football with free live scoring.
