Well , our club hosted a very nice ssc 'in-club' combat meet this past Saturday for a total of 7 pilots including me( my first ). It was a blast to participate in, but frankly,........ I SUCK at trying to grab a streamer, lol ! I had 2 cuts taken by other pilots on my planes, had 2 mid-airs from other planes hit my ripper, but she kept on flying!! I lost a throttle connection on one hit, and took a little wing damage on the other, whereas the wing got knocked to one side about 2 inches but was still flying, but it sure was a twitchy plane after that hit until I was able to land. I also flew my air devil and it did well with no damage to it.
Ive just got to learn to judge my depth perception better,... maybe it will come with more practice? I was thinking I would be right on someone to grab a streamer, but heck no, I was 20 to 30 foot to the side of them !!
Oh well, there's always next time[&o]
