Thanks for clearing it up for us Tony. I knew he had a leg up on everyone already. I still have not flown the known routine in its entirety.[

And Dean has probably flown 20 gallons already.
Gas goes much further with the DA 100!!!
I'm just working on it with the 2.6m Extra. I've only flown it from the right. It's getting less risky to the plane, so now it's time to attempt if from the left. By the time I find a RTF plane for next year, I should be able to fly the sequence without dumb thumbs being a risk to the plane.
Tony "Rolling Thunder" Quist flew the sequence a couple weekends and already had it mastered. He's already put it away and is practicing pattern for the January pattern contest at our field.
This should be a great year for competition in the Southwest!! Lots of great pilots in every class. The class newbies, like me, are looking forward to learning a lot of new skills from the class veterans. A whole new batch of Basic pilots are getting ready with their workshop on December 17th and their warm-up contest on January 14th.
I hope to see you all at the Cactus Classic on February 18th and 19th!!
Happy Holidays,
