RE: Florida SPA Chapter
It wasnt just my wheels that were too small. Even with a 3 blade prop, my plane looked like it just flew through the salad bar at Golden Corral. I did have a great time. As for the local BBQ pit for lunch, I had the best pulled pork sandwich I have ever eaten (trust me , I know how to eat).
Having another pilot watch/ evaluate your flying makes a world of difference. Bob found my problem with the 3 inside loops (I was hesitating just a little bit between loops and loops 2 and three kept winding up upwind of the previous loop) and I helped him with the 180 deg. turn.
I plan on bringing my Banshee to the next meeting for "show and tell" and try to generate some interest within my club.
While there arent enough Florida flyers yet for a full fledged contest, we could definitely get together and have a "judging clinic" type get together. Vince might have the best place to "host" a get together as the Hobe Sound/ Pt St Lucie area is a little more centrally located. Although if Vince hosts, I vote for the 1500' black top runway as I am still picking grass out of my plane. ":O)
