Hey now,
It sure is nice when they do, too bad we can't get it to "all".

Yes, a little gentle persuasion often helps.

Uh huh, My favorite big lift model is a custom "U-2" built by Leegun
James. It was the first carbon bagged wing he built. As lead sleds go it's
a floater, but it was built to lawn dart and goes through foamies like a
hot knife through butter:-0
The foamie flyers who don't get the idea of sharing the air often learn
after they get speared. At my home slope in Pacifica so far it's U-2 6,
foamies 0. Folks there have plenty of respect for glass slipers now...
