Several thoughts as the Holiday season approaches.
First, I want to thank everyone on this site for all of the assistance re-entering the sport of flying control line in competition. A whole lot of useful information is passed along on this site, as well as goods and services in-person, useful supplies via mail, etc. The builders, flyers, manufacturers and contest officials are all appreciated.
Second, I want to express that I'm happy to have been drawn back into the arena via helping friends and families deal with the downsizing that happens as our cohort ages. There is a satisfaction in getting items into the hands of folks who will enjoy them, a goal that can bring peace to a person or a family. My business partner has noted that there is joy associated with achieving flight, as it says right on the box of a Sterling kit. Myself, I decided to have some of the fun myself, enjoying a good season.
Third, while I'm glad that this site, and our country's culture, allows for quite a bit of name-calling in the interest of national politics, I'm also glad that we can have days at the flying fields and our various forums that focus on our enjoyment of the sport.
Keep 'em flying,
Peter
