ORIGINAL: Weasel Keeper

I remember a fellow at Rabbit Lake in Southern California who would entertain us by flying aerobatics while riding a unicycle.
You were at Rabbit on a rare day. I don't do that very much. Getting too old now!

But I do like to sit back in a lawn chair and shoot touch-and-goes. Especially on a warm afternoon when there are only a few of us remaining at the field. Take a Robinhood 99 or now a Giant Super Sportster and just pass the trasnmitter around while everybody tries to one-up the others on a spectacular approach technique. Try a take-off - Stall turn - and land in the opposite direction -or- howabout a take-off - emmelman and split-S to landing with maybe a forward (or side) slip to landing. Hand the transmitter to the next guy sitting next to you while you grab a chip, some salsa and a coke. We don't allow beer or this wouldn't last very long.

Of course with the Robinhood 99, We could set up the approach and set the transmitter on the ground at our feet and see who grabs it after the plane lands itself. [:-] There is plenty of room at Rabbit Dry Lake.
