How amusing, and wrong.

So now I am a self centered power flier? In fact, if anything, I am more of a glider guy than anything else. I have been very active in the SC2 contest series since 1993, I am the Torrey Pines Gulls rep to the SC2 Board, I fly regularly in contests (next one is at the ISS field in Riverside this Sunday, see you there Hugh!!), I've been to 11 of the past 14 Visalia contests, all of the past 5 SWC glider contests in Phoenix, flown gliders at the NATS and will be flying at the World Soaring Masters in Muncie this September. I have also been very active in scale aerotow as well having done tons of slope flying and a bunch of slope racing with the old CSR Series. I own two giant scale gliders (4.3 and 6 meter) in addition to 5 thermal duration ships (4 Open TD and 1 RES), 3 DLGs, my electric Graphite F5J plane, and I still have a couple of slope sleds around including my nifty little Mini-Ellipse. So what's it take to be a glider guy in your eyes?? I own 2 power planes and a heli as well, so I guess that's what makes me a glider hating self centered power pilot.

And once again, I have had very little to do with th HSS situation. I attended the site walk, and in fact raised my concerns to Maroney and Hanson that this was going to hurt the site as a glider field. So how you think I am aligned against the field as a glider field is a mystery to me. Unfortunately I planned on attending the July 6th meeting but got hung up in Chatsworth with work on that day, so I missed it.


Look Hugh, everyone knows that you have a long and tortured history about hating the AMA and anything to do with it. I could care less about that. What I do care about is when you distort facts to suit your version of reality to suit your need to bash the AMA and anyone associated with it. We get it. AMA bad. OK, but let's stick to the facts from here on out.
