RE: Recent theft of Pattern airplanes and equipment
Larry, Thanks for starting this thread, and to all of you, Barrett and I both really appreciate the support from the pattern community.
The Sickle was flying absolutely fantastic before it was stolen. The planes always seem to fly the best right before something bad happens.
So far the insurance company's have been congenial, but we'll have to wait and see how friendly they are when they have to write the checks!
I'm just now getting around to making the full list of stolen items. AMA supplementary coverage should kick in as the drivers door lock was pried open to gain access... That'll be a separate claim on the vehicle.
While this is a big setback for both of us, we will still be out on the contest trail.

BTW: A big thanks to Chris Moon for loaning me his personal "company" airplane to fly F-11 on Sunday! I'm not sure who was more nervous, Chris or myself, when I started the first rolling circle after only 5 manoeuvres with his Jupiter!!!
