Thats
great, but what the heck does gps stand for?
matt
Gents:
I coined the term GPS several
years ago to describe the symptoms of sailplane withdrawal syndrome that tends
to afflict those of us living north of the Mason-Dixon line.
It is sort of like seasonal affective disorder, but with twitchy thumbs to
boot.
Here in scenic central Ohio,
scale jet guru Terry Nitsch has found a cure for GPS by organizing bi-weekly
indoor electric flying sessions at a local golf dome. He even got
the managment to make the golfers stop whacking balls while we are
flying. Now if he can just get the management to keep the heat on
during these frosty Saturday night electron fests.
I have been doing my part to
keep the sailplane ranks represented by flying a GWS powered
Chrysalis. Don Harris flys all sorts of styrofoam board weirdness,
as do other MOSS members.
This season I have instituted
a new RC sailplane tradition and also suggested some new RC sailplane
terminology by flying the Chyrsl-Stick with a sprig of mistletoe taped
underneath the fuselage.
The new
terminology?
(wait for it....)
Guided Mistletoe.
Happy new year to
all.
