Jerry,
What a memory you have!!! It was the NSRCA District 7 Championship and I was in the hunt for first. I had to fly the rest of that flight and the next round with a buddy's tipo and I didnt fare too well with a plane I had not flown before.
It still hurts to look at it. Before and after pictures for your pleasure.
Here is also a picture of my new ride.
Please try to come to the next Classic Pattern event even if you dont have a plane. You can fly mine or just shoot the poop with us. Tom McNicolas is going to start attending as well.
