You should have joined us for the Ringmaster marathon. Even got Dave Trible and Jim Lee to fly between trimming there stunters, as if Jim needs to trim his.

TJ,

The Strega looked great, and appeared to fly well, too.

Oh yeah, I found some bricks for your hip pockets.

Jim

haha thanks Jim, it's got a lot of trimming that needs to be done with get it going contest trimming is always not the greatest thing for a fresh plane haha im just glad there is a scale big enough to hold it haha yal put on a great contest and me and dad loved every minute of it thank you!
