Reminds me of the "old" days(70s) of thermal duration when many a time I saw
Fred Weaver come to a contest, borrow a plane, hand launch it a couple of
times, then proceed to "clean house." Wish I could fly my "modern" TD ship
half as good as he flew the old RES stuff- just goes back to "its the pilot,
not the plane" that wins contests. Walter
