Proof positive.

I ended up leaving my glow battery and chicken stick. I contacted one of the NEST members and he has them. I'll get them at the October fun fly. I've been flying the big ringmaster and it's flying well. I plan to bring it to LA along with the P-39 for the military stunt class. I started on the winter projects. I built a foam and balsa stab/elev for the new design plane. I plan to call it "Polynesian". .60 size, foam wing and stab.

Yesterday I couldn't spell 'expert" now I are one.

During the few years that I've been competing in control line stunt there has been one thing that stood out. Today at the contest there was two entrants in old time stunt one being me. I launched for the other guy who flew first. After his flight I retrieved his plane and carried it by the prop as the plane was really oily. A gust of wind caught the wing turning the plane and causing contact between my fingers and the hot muffler. I fumbled the plane breaking the tail off.
