Considering recent events I have decided to retire from flying competion. I have been flying for many many years and I now feel I am no longer concidered as a top flyer
ICON ACE CAPTAIN ICON LEO MEHL...KING OF THE ORANGE!
It would truly make a no brainer guess that you have enough boxes of hardware-throphies-awards that could fill a COSTCO WAREHOUSE...
Try to remember....that ONE TRULY IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THEIR LAST GIG OR FLIGHT~~~
and CLPA EVENTS THAT ARE JUDGED BY MERE MORTAL HUMANOIDAL'S events.
Also stir into the HUMANOIDAL' SOUP..a poor luck of the draw...poor luck of weather timing or a bad engine setting or a blown plug or the old body just feels like poop...
LEO...NEVA SAY NEVA...perhaps time to sit back...take a pill or a Bud Light and CHILL!
Time heal brotha and we are all here for you....until the grimeee-grim reaper takes that final swing at us..
In the meantime...MAY THE GOOD LORD TAKE A LIKING TO YOU...n back off on the LICKIN' TO YA FOR A SPELL!
I am going to dig through some history and photos for you this week.
Shultzie...

To All
I just got off of the phone with Leo. He asked me to relay to everyone that his "band" doesn't even have a gig in Portland and he forgot what instrument he plays. He says he will continue to design, build and "fiddle" around with control line stunt. He hasn't changed his "tune", for sure!
Later
Richard
For both Steve and Leo's "BAND"...Let me take the intro-song bye da' Beetles...
"ALL YA NEED IS LOVE....DA-DA-DADA-DA 010! BW@
