Title: Two old Grunters on a mission
Post by: Leo Mehl on March 30, 2008, 09:50:25 AM
Hey Mark there are two old grunters here that are now flying the full pattern and they are talking about whooping somebody at the next contest. They are flyin good and I think maybe they can do it. If I were you I would shovel some snow and start practicing. This is a Red Alert! LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ HB~>

Go for it.  Here in Kansas we have the likes of Lew Woolard, Marvin Denny and Bud Burroughs that keep whooping up on us youngsters.  Maybe I can get them to transfer to the Northwest.  Nope I'll keep them here to keep telling me I need to practice with a coach.  DOC Holliday

Glade they know it is all in fun I hope. As you probably know they give me bad time so maybe I have one coming.  LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ HB~>

The two old grunters have never expressed anything about wanting to better anyone at a contest. They only want the pure joy of having flown to the best they are able to.  If you do your best and someone scores better there is no shame in your effort.  The fellowship of others at the contest should be reward enough for all the long hours of practice.  They really do believe in holding all who they compete against in the highest esteem.  Shame on you Leo!  They also think the tooth fairy is one cool dude.

The painting is getting there but long way to go. I think will be painting most of the summe especialy if I get my Green Box Nobler done. Original Arctic Fox Is next an then Grinder. Boy Ill never do this again.  I will probably be high fron paint most of the summer. Been doing a little flying but has been down in the 30s around here so not a lot of flying yet. Had snow for last 3 days but it didn't stick. Feels more like witer for the last 3 days. UI think I will move neer you where it is warm. HB~> HB~> HB~> HB~>

Leo, JUST GRAB THE GRABBER ORANGE PAINT...your talent in the finishing dept. takes a back seat to no one...
(As far as our new pattern grunts...Paul Walker has a pretty defining statement emblasend on his Impact Wing...worth pondering for any one thinking about competition stunt flying?

"ONE IS TRULY AS ONLY AS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD AS THEIR LAST FLIGHT!"

Read the close up quip on Paul Walker's beautiful IMPACT!

"DON'T THINK YOU ARE?"  "KNOW YOU ARE!"

(A "Matrix theme?")

Lots of truth in that......CONFIDENCE!!! (however that only comes with lots skill and practice-practice-practice.) Plus a goal in mind, every time you're out there in the center of the circle.
Humm? Easier sad than DUNG...sometimes! ~^
