Back (sort of)
« on: October 23, 2018, 03:41:52 PM »
In case some of you who I knew from a few years back have noticed my recent participation here again, I have been fooling around C/L again. As you may recall I had a couple of strokes which destroyed my ability to compete at the time. I thought that was the end of aerobatics for me.  About a year ago I noticed a Banshee kit in my shop and decided to build it for kicks. Got some C/L gear together and gave it a shot again.  After a bit I was able to do the overhead maneuvers again....encouraging.  So far I don't have any really nice planes yet but if I keep practicing the sequence so I may show up at one of the contests again, if things keep improving.  Same as before, I'm the only C/L flyer here in Lake Wales.  The club has been very accommodating launching for me.

Hi Phil.
Great to see you posting and active again.
We lost a few CLiners since you were here last, flying cut back quite a bit but we hope to gear up again this fall/winter.
Take care,

Phil, there’s a contest coming up weekend after next in Ellenton. I’m sure everyone would like to see you.

  The news about recovering from the stroke is really encouraging, and by the grace of God I hope that you get even better..   God Bless you...

Great to hear you are doing better.  Welcome back.  From what I've heard and seen the brain recovers faster from a stroke when you push it.  Kinda like a dog, it doesn't do any more than it has to.
