Re: [RCSE] soaring issues - I now understand
Turn it around? Never. I wasn't insinuating that you don't applaud his efforts. Next year will be a flying year for our buddy in the spotlight, I'll be doing my best to make sure of it. Just so that everyone knows, Sheldon didn't fly at the NATS this year because I was too busy trying to complete a GeeBee (doomed from the beginning in retrospect) to complete our Genie's. That was to be Sheldon's ship to fly this year and I didn't come through for him. They'll be done before this season is done, so lots of stick time on that airframe to prepare for NATS 2006.

Re: [RCSE] soaring issues - I now understand
Lots of pilots that donate their time at Nats helping the cause, participate as well... it is done all the time. 8-) Please don't reverse it on me, I applaud Sheldon's Nats work, I just want to see him fly there too. Every year he tells me, "Next year, Jimmy". BTW, I have never seen Sheldon fly a sailplane... yet I spend at least a week a year doing that around him. 8-) (I have seen him fly electrics and a helicopter) At 04:39 PM 8/15/2005, Dan Kitching wrote: - Sheldon is to busy working at the NATS to participate in the stick wiggling (this should be applauded!)

Now this is great, we're learning things here. - Sheldon is to blame for my finally "getting it" - Doug has a hard time just leaving the winch pedal where it is - Sheldon is to busy working at the NATS to participate in the stick wiggling (this should be applauded!)

RE: [RCSE] soaring issues - I now understand
Gentlemen, I REALLY apologize! I don't know what could have possibly gotten into me...It must have been a moment of weakness. I humbly beg your forgiveness for "watering down" our ranks with such "riff-raff", even if he is a good stick! I'm going up to visit Dan next weekend and, while he's busy building our Genie Pros, I thought I'd help him get a headstart while we still have a season. I'm going to bring him my Victory-C so he can work with Doug Pike to get started. I can't wait 'til he gets his first whiff of TD with an Unlimited ship! Note to Doug Pike: Teach Dan NOT to fool around with the launch pedal with plane hooked-up & in one hand whilst holding radio in other! Note to Dan: If Doug starts fooling 'round with the launch pedal, back away from the line, back away from the line quickly! Now back to fooling around with my XP3-E conversion. Yep, an old XP3, that can't be DLG'd any longer. I won an Astro 010 Brushless at the Worker's Raffle, and...Well, I should know in a few days if it will work. Actually, it's my wife's fault...She wants to learn to fly! -Sheldon- -Original Message- From: DAN KITCHING [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 14, 2005 12:37 PM To: soaring@airage.com Subject: Re: [RCSE] soaring issues - I now understand I'm beginning to understand the addiction to thermal hunting and I'd like to place the blame where it belongs, squarely on the shoulders of my good friend Sheldon Smith. I've always appreciated soaring, but was truly hooked after putting a 42 minute flight on my Ariane V6 a while ago. Folks, this is a 1.66 meter F5B plane that weighs 60oz all up. Of course, it climbs at over 100km/h, but it WILL NOT thermal in a fart. It took a boomer day, but now I'm doing less climbing and diving than climbing and soaring and I'm realizing more and more that boomers are not necessary to climb, but smooth circling and energy retention will allow me to thermal in moderate conditions.

Re: [RCSE] soaring issues - I now understand
Thats great Dan glad to hear you caught the soaring bug. I've been flying just about everyday since April. Lately, I've been getting back from flying, throw everything on charge, grab some food, maybe a nap. Then I'm bored, so I head back out for more. I'm very lucky i can do this, since I build all night. My motto is, ''got to git while the gittins' good!" because, believe me it will change. :-) Dave Hauch www.git-r-built.com - Original Message - From: "DAN KITCHING" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Sunday, August 14, 2005 9:37 AM Subject: Re: [RCSE] soaring issues - I now understand > I'm beginning to understand the addiction to thermal > hunting and I'd like to place the blame where it > belongs, squarely on the shoulders of my good friend > Sheldon Smith. > > I've always appreciated soaring, but was truly hooked > after putting a 42 minute flight on my Ariane V6 a > while ago.
