[NSRCA-dist8] Soft Mount

[J N Hiller]

Sorry about that. It was not my intention to beat anyone; I just wanted to
put up some clean flights with well-positioned geometry. I will not be doing
as well in masters. Oh well, it will be challenging requiring a higher level
of concentration. It's a nice schedule, flows well with some rally nice
maneuvers and easy to fly, just don't rudder the wrong way on the inverted
4-point and leave enough room for the 180 degree radius on the bottom of the
reverse humpty. Following a flight plan helps. Deliberate positioning and
appropriate sizing of the maneuvers is more critical than advanced.
This will be FUN.
Jim

Well glad to see someone from Seattle area back in the game.  The Option
120 should be a good plane for you, since I was beat in every contest
this year by someone flying one. Of course, pilot skill sure helped Mr.
Hiller also.
