[NSRCA-discussion] WAY OFF TOPIC: comic relief

[John Ferrell]

Wow! You have forced a reality check on me....
I am considering contacting him.
The problem is that my cataracts are limiting my flying but don't 
measure bad enough qualify for insurance coverage. I have sort of made 
it a personal rule of no more buying unless I am confident the disasters 
can be contained.The last two times out I have dinged a Prophecy and a 
Kaos.. on landing.

The Runaround with an OS 91(4 stroke) installed is incredibly gentle and 
at the same  time tough and agile. It certainly is not a limiting factor 
for my current flying skills. All I ever wanted when I started flying 
pattern was to fly like Bob Richards flew his Run Around..

I have a 90 size Boxer but I am holding back putting it at risk in hopes 
of better health in the future.

As health issues go, mine are better than a lot the other guys. I am 
still walking, driving and living without unexpected problems. I hope to 
make it to the Green Sea Contest next week, but without an airplane.
