Thanks so much.

I have talked to the Texas law enforcement authorities and they have made a special exception and will allow you to enter the state to compete. When you come across the border, just mention my name and I think you will be OK. They have however, stated that if you misbehave, I will be detained. (LOL). If you come down, bring Scott Anderson with you.

I will arrive Friday but have to leave Saturday Night as I leave for 10 days Ca.
Looks like the prevailing wind will give a right to left pattern, is that correct?

Status: offline 		It's official: Glowplugboy will be there..... and the current temp forecast is 100 on Saturday and 101 on Sunday. I think this should be a six round contest with trophies awarded to everyone who does not have a heat stroke.... I understand YS is coming out with a 1.90 "Heat Stroke" Engine.....

Anyone need CA Glue? $5.00 for a 2 oz. bottle, thin, medium, thick.

Get ready to sweat!!

Mike

Status: offline 		My hopes are for us to make a 6 round contest.... at least 5.

This may require us flying earlier and with a sundot and one line until the sun is high enough not to be a factor. This might help us move things faster. Also, flying later into the evening might work better as well. This could be starting with the lower classes early and flying double rounds and finishing with the upper classes and flying double rounds.


Prevailing winds call for a left to right sequence.

Sounds good to me. The sun isn't a factor in my flying abilities... in fact a triangle loop with half rolls with the sun at the Apex should actually help me score a 10...

Geez, it is going to be hot....

The goal right now is to be wheels up by 930 with at least one class flying.

Status: offline 		Chuck,
  Whatever y'all decide is fine but just a thought here.  It stays light until past 8.  No one is really rushing home Saturday evening so if we fly a little later, I would think it would be fine.  Dinner and {whatever} can wait another hour so we don't have to fly in the sun.  Not all of us can pull the Todd Blose and just close one eye until we're on the other side and then switch.

Status: offline 		Great contest Chuck, Leslie and Ed.  Y'all ran a very smooth contest with over 30 pilots.  You could take out the 101 temps and the 80% humidity though.  I'm all for prepping for the NATS but good lawd. 

Thanks again, it was a blast.

Scott
