It is amazing how quick you can build if you don’t have anything to fly.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<br>
A rookie mistake has cost me my Brio :( :( My Black Magic’s
aren’t complete yet so I currently am without an airplane.
Shouldn’t be too long to get a BM in the air (a few weeks)
especially without the distraction of flying...lol.<br>
<br>
As such, I won’t be attending next weekend :(:( I’ll be
busy painting and covering.<br>
<br>
There’s an outside chance I may still go to the shootout and share an
airplane with Bill Pritchett...we’ll see.<br>
<br>
-Mark<br>
PS...the Rookie mistake was changing Aileron servos at 3am and forgetting a
servo screw. Servo arm came off on the 3rd flight (surprised it lasted
that long) and the resulting flutter was too much drag on the wing even at low
throttle....just a slow spiral in. Fiberglass and deceleration trauma are
not pretty.</span></font> <o:p></o:p></p>
