Be careful naming something " Masher " some of those guys will try to throw it in a still and drink it later......

Hmmmm . . . Drink ideas for the post-race libations?

I guess you better not LOSE, Shawn; or, you risk a drink being named after you!

You can name a drink after me, but you have to give me one...

I bring drinks for everybody; so you better believe if you inspire me to create a new one, you'll be the first (well, the second) to try it!

I have had a couple BBQ's where out of town friends have brought that beer. The problem is that they are always late to the party and end up not getting finished because the good stuff is consumed first.

Well my problem was that I was too early to the finish in round one. That made for an uphill battle for the rest of the day. Oh well had fun anyways.

I haven't had that fun of a day flying in quite a while. Everything just seemed to come together at the right time.

Couple of photos of my NEW Macchi C202 finally done, waiting for radio to come back from Horizon to test fly. At this point it has a YS110 but a YS115 will be installed for a little better performance

Shawn did you repair your plane after the midair? You were lucky he didn't take out both elevators and loose the plane, instead of just the tail

Babe, working on it, I laid up a new tail cone and have it in place. Had to remove the one elevator half and rudder as the rudder linkage was damaged. Right now it's body work and then spot repair the paint. Will take another week or so. I gotta say, deciding to go dual servo/pushrod on the elevators was the best choice I could have made.
