Duane,
Sorry to mess up a build thread but I came across this to add to my earlier post (#69) This is the schedule Ed would have flown the Simla through at the 1965 US Nationals. It may be of interest to competitors at the proposed ''Simla Supporters Super Shoot-out'' which I hope you manage to hold some day (wish I could be there)
Manoeuvres were scored out of 5 points back then so this was some flight by the winner, Cliff Weirick. ( ref. MAN November 1965 page 33)

Mess up the thread....on the contrary...you got my not-so-subtle hint.
This is just a little break to change the "tempo" a little before diving back into building.
Nice try at a name for the event, but I don't think we are going to "shoot" anything anytime soon. Maybe we ought to hold it in Belfast...what do you think? [8D]
No, I guess on second thought, it would cost a fortune to ship those "big puppies" over there. I guess it would cost less than staging the event in Germany, or even New Zealand however. Nice thought though.
Thanks as always for the documentation.
Duane
