I am soo glad to see that Barry learned everything I have been working to
teach him about being a great supplier! I feel like a proud dad!
I'll keep doing what I can to improve his supplier rating, but its hard work
:-)
Congrats on getting your Super Ava. My personal opinion is that the regular
AVA is more nimble in the air and during landings, it takes a man of
superior skills and potential to get the 'super' part out of the Super AVA. I
have
managed, but then I'mhaving more fun than most in the hobby :-)
Okay so I show up at the TNT, and some of the guys are tossing their AVA's
prior to the contest start, I put mine together and figure I'll give it a few
myself, but on the way out some of the guys who have seen the mtv style video
of its first hand tosses, commented that it was a good feat and a sweet
video...so I figure I have to get a sky-out from one of the tosses, sort of to
validate the video. I tossed it a few times toward the wind and one edge of
the field and I picked up a couple of 2min low flights to a catch, but
couldn't
seem to hook what seemed like viable thermal candidates from where I was, so
I walked back down wind near the winches, and as I got further away from the
tree line up wind I could feel some good pieces pump past. I turned and
gave it my best heave...about a tenth of what JW does with his full house
ships
:-( but good enough to hook up for a sky out! :-) I figure that was an omen,
and sure enough, that day I got my first LSF 5 win!
And by the way, Barry was a great supplier well before I met him and well
before Super AVA's existedcomes with being a good guy :-).G

Practice day tomorrow in Louisville...Tangerine or bust!
Got my Super Ava today and it was shipped in typical Kennedy Composites
shipping style. Enclosed in a snowboard case and it arrived in perfect
condition.
Thank you Karen and Barry.
First task for the Super Ava is to help me finish LSF Level five. I only
have to do the cross country and the 2 hr to finish. The plan is to do these
during the weeks before and after the Febuary contest in Phoenix, AZ.
Eat your heart out Gordy.
