trouble. I only went to one contest in Cullman and wore a patch over my
right eye. Came in a well deserved last! That's all resolved now as I am
a one eyed pilot for all practical purposes and don't even have to wear
the patch.

fellowship is to good to quit, lots of nice folks still showing up.

good enough to be competitive in F.A. I. as Jason, Chip, Don S and the
other top folks are. However, they could do it with a Senior Falcon and
they didn't have to learn how in AMA...... (For you young folks, a
Senior Falcon is a very old Goldberg trainer!) A lot of others fall into
my category and could care less about using AMA to move to F.A.I.. I did
enjoy flying F.A.I. when the pattern was such I could get through it.
<g> I beat Tony Stillman a couple of times in Nashville, YS of course
his engine quit in both cases! <vbg>

really competitive in the lower classes without a two meter power house,
We would attract more folks! I know there are rare exceptions to this
rule. All I get from my hundred-thirty plus club members with a couple
of exceptions is, I just can't afford the stuff you use so I ain't
gonna.
