Great report Gordy, as usual. Sounds like your Supra had fun. I too had a great day of flying. I put my new Supra up for its maiden flight. Well it is used, but in perfect condition. She is purdy. It was 32 degrees on Long Island, but winds were under 5 mph all day. One of those white cloud skys with no blue, like flying against cotton. But it was a perfect day to maiden a new plane. After a few hand throws to get the final adjustments in, up the winch it went. Took several trim flights to check the mixes, landing mix, etc. She felt good so it was time to go hunting. On the third flight I worked my up and specked it out. The plane was so small that you could barely tell it had a tail. Good thing I have good long range vision. It is a long story, about 88 minutes long, but it has a happy ending. Many smile to go around. I did about half the flight with may hands completely off the transmitter. She flies like a dream. In fact keeping the hand warm was a problem. I had heat packs in my thin flying gloves. So, Gordy and his Supra had a great day. Ed and his Supra had a great day. Today was a Supra day. :-) Ed Anderson Long Island Silent Flyers > "Punta Gorda Was Very Very Good To Me Today!" > Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2008 20:16:06 EST > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: Soaring@airage.com > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: "Punta Gorda Was Very Very Good To Me Today!" > Message-ID:
