Reverse av/RCU poll

We need more stories like that one. Hahahahahahaha. Wonder if that guy was  
ready for F3A. 
 
I think all this serious toned talk about everything we have been talking  
about, needs to be shelved. Every one needs to remember a pattern story that  
tickles the funny bone and say it out loud. This DL couln't be better  served

Then there was a guy whose theory was "small is  better" on the Hourglass.... 
Well, he had this SL1 SMOKIN' through the  pattern, and at that speed, it was 
apparent we were in for a REAL treat.   I was calling for him....if I recall, 
the Hourglass was a  mid-entry.
    Anyway, he's streaking to  center, pulls to the up angle, NEVER got off 
the power on the first radius,  and it was TIGHT.  I still remember thinking I 
saw the nose touch the  tail as it went around that corner.  He was bound and 
determined to make  'em all match, so yee HA, that bottom corner was just 
amazing to  witness.  He didn't pop a wing tube, but I remember his retracts 
pulling  out.  They came out about halfway and then snapped back up.
    Man, that was glorious to  see....in subsequent flights, the pilot 
remembered to pull back on the  throttle.
