Re: [RCSE] Soaring Today
Glad to hear you guys are able to fly. It's been warm here in Texas, but slightly breezy. 25 - 35 MPH seven out of the nine days so far this month!! And no slope anywhere in 100 miles, bummer. We have our third monthly contest today and the forecast is for it to build to 20 - 30 MPH with gusts to 35 again. And Chicago is the windy city? ;^) Mark - Original Message - From: James V.

Re: [RCSE] Soaring Today as well
Like Dave H said !! Went to this Sod farm, my first visit since moving to South Bend. The place is actually quite nice, but I see Corn looming in the future. There apparently, are 2 sites to fly fromPLENTY of room for Aero tow... What a way to meet someone, (Dave), that I have been communicating with over the years, but having never met !! Got 3 launches today.. On my Icon... It was good, considering the model has not been outta the bag since the last OVSS contest, Last fall !! Launched once of Daves F3b Winch, and twice of the Loft Club winch. Landings were within spec A wing span circle of the spotLOL The flights were fun and skyed, down to a hundred feet then back up again..what a HOOT. Sure was nice to get into the saddle again... Had to leave early, to work on work for work at home..crap !! Thanks Dave, for the ping yesterday !! Karen and I had a ball..

Fw: Re: [RCSE] Soaring Today
Denny Zech and I flew here in Fort Wayne today. Beautiful conditions for dialing in my new Sharon Pro X tail and an old 2M Duck that I bought last fall. Our LOFT season opener starts tomorrow with another wonderful weather forecast. Both of my planes and Denny's Pelican are all dialed in. Now I need to work on me. The Good Lord knows, I love soaring.

Bacus [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Well, it was windier than predicted, but still the warmest day we have seen this year. When I got to the field McCarthy had his new Ferrari red Sharon Pro X tail out, Charley had his Hera out and I brought out my nasty old ICON that Daryl is so fond of. 8-) A couple of bungee launches found us working pretty good air, but I wanted to do some zooms. Jimbo said he had his F3B winch with him so we strung it out. 10 - 15mph wind, F3B winch, big 'ole Trojan battery and mono means ZOOM. What a blast, put a tube in the ICON and only popped Jimbo's mono once. 8-) TK showed up and started sharing the Sharon with Jimbo every time that LJ called which was about every 5 minutes today. 8-) It was during one of these intermissions that I asked TK for the sticks, I wanted to try Jimbo's new toy. TK has this thing specked and in very good air, like screaming good air. So I start feeling it out, and went right into ThermalLooping it at high speed in the strong air. I hear Jimbo in the background, gotta go, call you back, gotta go... OK, NOW YOU GOT MY ATTENTION heh heh heh 8-) Actually a very nice toy, stiff and faster than I thought they were, I had never flown the X tail version of the Sharon before. I got one more launch on my ICON before Jimbo packed up the winch. I kept flying it, gave it to TK and he flew the crap out it doing F3B runs continuously in the big air. Then he gave it back to me, I bet Jimbo has made it all the way home and we are still flying the crap out of this huge air. Eventually we thought better of pushing the batteries too far and landed it, what a day. Anybody else get some today?
