Contest is starting to shape up. Helped Jon set up the poles, got some more practice in and picking up trophies in the morning. Scott Smith came out again with his 202. He had to do a quick cable fix on the rudder (never a good thing to kick your rudder before taking off lol) then a couple of flights before the rain came. Jon got a few in as well and improved even though Gary and I were harassing him during his flights (it was a helpful harassment I promise ). One thing we learned today, sadly at the expense of a fellow club member, was don't visualize a wrong input. John took it in stride and will have a replacement in no time. Never think zig (pull) when you need to zag (push).

tomorrow more pilots will be arriving for some early practice and the weather should be perfect all weekend.
