First of all, congrats to Skip Miller for teaching us all how to land in not so-ideal conditions. Great job!! Good flying to all the top place pilots, lots of great flying took place this past weekend and people got to test how well their pilot skills came to play. You know what, congratulations to everyone for making it through this crazy contest and brought home their gliders in one piece. Conditions were a little rough on Saturday and it required those, "Do some of your pilot stuff" in order to land that bird on target. I'm glad for the most part not to see posts about one glider really being better than the other and that is why it made winners this past weekend. This contest in my opinion proved that point, you must get out and learn your plane and improve your landing skills. You can't always have perfect conditions when you are on final and waiting to slam that down elevator as you reach your target. All the top placing pilots had the right stuff this past weekend and as a result finished where they did. I know I'll be hitting the practice field and focus on my landings as well, you can never practice them enough!!!
As always it was nice to finally meet and match the faces with the e-mails we exchange over this forum. This hobby of ours brings the best people together and in the process we have fun at being kids all over again. I hope more of you out in glider land get the chance to make it to some of these two-day contest, you really do make more friends each time you attend them. Special thanks to the CASL crew for hosting another exciting contest and I look forward to next year's contest.
