I assume you mean this coming weekend?

If I'm lucky I'll be able to spectate on Sunday, but who knows?

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

I can't make it - I'm headed the other way from Albuquerque, back to Orlando.  You guys have fun- I'll be thinking of you. Last years event was a great time.

If someone needs a plane to use, Sunshine Richard - President Emeritus of the NW Fireballs has my Banshee / OS.35 that I bought from him - I will offer it up for use by anyone who needs it. It has been test flown, and the motor runs great.

Only restriction is that if it gets flown- I want a picture or 2.

Well, the weather report certainly looks good. 68° and overcast on Saturday and clear and 71° on Sunday. Should be fun.

Ya just gotta rub salt in the wound don't you Randy! 

I get to help my wife with a garage sale- just what I need, a bunch of people I don't know looking at my prized collection of stuff that's NOT FOR SALE!

Bill,

If it makes you feel better, the weather report now says rain both day with highs in the mid to high 60s.

Sigh...
