I tried flying squirrels but after numerous labor conflicts over who gets to<br>
do the flying I was forced to make an executive decision and make a change.<br>
<br>
<br>
Unfortunately the pecan/stick method, while providing adequate power, was<br>
unsustainable for long sequences. Moreover, only the steroid squirrels were<br>
able to endure the back to back practice flights without shorting their<br>
overall life cycle. <br>
<br>
Anyone wanna try a Turbine?<br>

You need to use pecans not steroids. Squirrels will do anything for <br>
pecans and the only additional weight penalty is one pecan on a stick. <br>
Of course you do need to reward the squirrel with extras after the <br>
flight which does not count against your weight limit. Also a switch to <br>
flying squirrels would be a plus. Then you actually get some lift from <br>
from your propulsion unit.<br>

Its<br>
"green" with biodegradable emissions, but right now I can only get
adequate<br>
power with the heavier bulky steriod enhanced grey squirrils which make me<br>
overweight ... <br>

,
electrics want a weight break because their fuel tanks are<br>
heavy but their fuel is light; because two strokes aren't competitive any<br>
more we ought to have a high minimum weight for 4-strokes and electrics to<br>
level the playing field; and I want a weight break because I added 4 oz when<br>
I put ignition on my YS's.<br>
