[RCSE] Who remembers The Old Buzzard video?
The video may still be available here http://soaringstuff.com/buzzvid.html And the Old Buzzard, himself, is also still available. He was sighted around ABQ a few months ago. He was actually flying an RC sailplane at our field. (Mostly, he rides bicycles, these days, and throws little freeflight HLG's.)

re: [RCSE] Disappointed
Sorry, Bill, but I had submitted my CASL SWC appplication long before you sent out your plea. The way I see it, especially the way that I have consistantly placed the past four years I've attended, is that my role in the sailplane community is to make the rest of you look much better than you think you really are. With a mission like that, I should be paid to come!! See you in February.

[RCSE] Re: First Sailplane
My first sailplane was a 2 m polyhedral floater called an EyeSoar. Of course, by the time it completed its first 'obligatory' hand toss it looked like one. The nose immediately got shorter by about a quarter-inch after a newbie zoom and stall (no one to help me). But it eventually flew great until it met an untimely death in a moving truck.
