Houston TX area 402 Pattern Shootout/Grudge Match

[richard.lewis]

Chuck,

Be sure to dip that ARF in thin CA before showing up on Sunday.  With the
colder weather all that crappy lite-ply is liable to shrink up and we don't
want any ARF trash littering our flying site when it comes apart in the
outside loop.  BTW - did you get a "Not Observed" on your landing from Larry
in the last round at LARKS because he had fallen out his chair when you dove
towards the earth with wrong ruddder in the half rolls for the fifth
straight round?

You need to be very afraid of the Aries/Mintor combo - After the ceremony
with the live chicken Saturday night at LARKS, the Italian Mintor gods are
smiling..)

As for Jim and Mark, let's say that neither one will be "fueling" my plane
up like they were so eager to do after seeing me fly on Friday before
LARKS...I have also started an investigation into the crash of my primary
plane (Brand new WIdeBody 60) Saturday before LARKS after flying with both
of them the day before....who needs enemies when you've got friends like
these guys...:)

Richard...(Per favore di lasciare il mio motore tiene correre per il cerchio
intero)

  Emails like beat this beat the **** out of whether you should use a 4
stroke or 2 stoke, what voltage your pack is running versus my pack.  I fly
pattern cause of the people , the challenge of putting the plane where I
want it to be and not where it ends up and the people, and having fun.  Plus
I like beating a few guys with my ARF ( Mark Hunt got your ears on?) and be
able to fly 3 rounds of Intermediate on one tank of fuel ( Richard Lewis
still working on a complete round) Martin Stohr is trying to figure out what
God Ron Barr used to make his previous pattern plane so successful and the
chickens are scared of JOE BO (major league anyone).  Jim Sheffield is
trying to acid dip his plane like the old drag racers and lower its overall
weight from 9.5 to 9.49 so his ridiculous vertical performance of late is
improved.  Tommy Scarmado has found his ideal landing gear and is just
waiting to abuse some Long term local intermediate class pilots with is
ability to improve overall flight performance.  Mark Hunt is still looking
for some insight on what he has to do to beat Keith Black.. well, not
anymore, Keith moved to Advanced (lucky Mark).  Sorry Keith, but I think a
skins style round robin at NATS would really make for a great event if we
could get the sponsorship money lined up.  Maybe instead of unknowns we
threw in a combat class??/ you know how TV execs love a little drama.



  Nuff for now, back to hanger flying.. my last round of visualizing the
maneuvers I scored 10’s each maneuver. (yes Jim Sheffield, even the 2
 ½
rolls opposite)



  LATER!!!

  Chuck
