OK guys. this should be the right file. The other one was the hail and flood damage report from our last storm. Not of much use to anybody, and I cant delete it since its a first topic post.

So the James Mears memorial was my first combat experience ever. I think I've only flown an F2D plane 3 times before this event. I warned everyone I flew against that I didn't know what I was doing! Everyone was more than accommodating.
 My first match was against Arnie. He was awesome, and was explaining what to do while we flew. I ended up turning in front of him and bell cranked myself!
 
 My second match was against Andy Mears. He let me borrow a handle. George was pitting for me so I had a great engine run. I was doing ok, and learned the hard way how to correctly pin elevators on.....

Bet you learned more in this weekend than all the times you have been out flying.   It's also great that you got some matches in.   Nothing like having some one to fly with, especially practice matches.   I really enjoyed my time watching the Minor's practice a few years ago.
