FINALLY made it and the Sportube worked like a champ, that is the TSA Lock
Adapter seemed to do the trick. I used a bright pink marker to mark next
to the lock in big letters
TSA LOCK! It was dusted but not opened. and it got here with me!
Very warm and humid today, But plenty of guys to meet up with, including
current F3J World Champ David Hobby, who has cancelled trips to the USA this
week to try to get a piece of me! :-) Larry Jolly has been coaching him (I
think Skip too) so likely I am in real trouble hoping to repeat my last years
win in Sydney! But a bad loss on the field in Australia is still a great
day of soaring !!!!
I am totally burned out from airport hassles in Vegas and Los Angles, and
ending up in a middle seat from LA to Melborne. Again no complaints...cept
I missed a contest in Adelaide yesterday, and will just miss their Nationals the
day I leave to come back :-(
You can bet I'll be thinking about how to extend this by three days
:-)
However I am not sure my Sportube will float me all the way from Aukland NZ
over to Adelaide!
More later when I wake up :-)...and yes I have one of the new Shadows on
36mhz along, and a scanner too :-)
