Title: Great day at the field
Post by: Elwyn Aud on August 17, 2008, 11:57:10 PM: We had one of those near perfect days at the field in Tulsa Sunday. Not too hot, mild wind, a few clouds to hide the sun from time to time, and a good turnout of members. If we could get the same weather for the upcoming contest it would be fantastic.

A touch of high temp RTV seems to have solved the problem. Was using the old TwistMaster as a test bed and it's now running great...
