Well said Chad,

I'll end my portion of this with a funny story (funny if you are a glow pilot). At the Eglin AFB contest the AF decided to cut power to the field without telling the CD or club members. It was going to be several hours or into the afternoon before the power came on again. With everyone expecting AC, there were not enough generators to go around. The E-guys needed to milk batteries and not take practice flights (as there was no AC to recharge), where as I and a few other were able to take several practice flights at whim
Thanks,
Jim W.
