Hey Scott, good to hear from ya. Maybe it was someone else that told me that then. Well, I'll be making the trip anyhow. I had nothing but good things to say to my wife Elisha about you and your wife. She's looking forward to the same. I'll see if I can get her there for Lancaster. I'll be there for sure. I guess I'll see you at Hollister first though.
Take care,

Krishlan

Well,

Glad to hear you got your 0s160 running Jarvis. I'm having some issues with my 140rx. Nothing that is major just need to readjust the low end. It all changed at the Ione contest and I had difficulties with the low end at Sac. I'm going flying this weekend to set it. What was the problem with the 160? Did you get the L'essence going again?
I'd really like to make it to Whittier. I used to fly there with my brother sometimes when we still lived down there. After mile square went away. I imagine everyone that flew at Riverside will be there. Outta be a good one, at least for Advanced.
Hey Scott,

I'll give it a try. Gonna be close I'm sure.
And remember, I'll move up when you do!!!!
Take care,
Kris

Hey, K
The L"essence and the OS160 are running great, but the plane is still a little nose heavy.
The problem with the OS160, was the perry pump was out of adjustment, an need to be
leaned out. Just to bad , it took 2 contest to figure that out.Most of the 9 advance flyers
from Riverside, should be at Whitter.I don't think Tom Collin will be there, those Vegas Guy's
will be burned out from the Nat's. Hey Man !!! good job at Sacramento, You beat Bill Wallace.
He's tough, you must jump on that guy early, once he gets warmed-up it's over.


Until Whitter
