On a further note,, regarding Steve most generously allowing me to fly the KISS twister for profile,, After he went to all the trouble to repair the wing covering just so I could fly it,, ( Steve, you really should work on your application techniques, that packing tape was looking kind of shabby dude!) He allowed me to use my handle,, ( I fly with a cranked handle, his is straight) He even went so far as to make sure he gave me enough fuel to fly the pattern with,, now keep in mind, he did get one flip starts, and my wheels stopped turning at 7 min 55 seconds,, oh and with a clunk tank, no way to do a cut off loop either,, ( which I realized after doing not ONE but TWO attempts at cutoff loops,, DOH!,, still, to score 460 and 470 on my first two flights on the plane, well it was not bad,, I could have done better, but beating Steve with his own airplane would have been crass and in poor taste,,
On further note, Randy allowed me a couple flights on the Ringmaster Deluxe, which was awesome, and very trusting of Randy,, of course, it should be noted that the first flight was about a second a lap slow,, the second flight was almost as bad,, it just wouldnt run right so I didnt do any real tricks,, prefering to leave his plane in one piece,, since it is a nice piece,, this was all in preperation since he was going to allow me to fly it in profile,, of course,, strangly enough, when he went to fly in expert profile,, the engine was once again singing its happy song,, hmmmm coincidence,, ( he muttered something about bad fuel or some such,, ) but hey Randy,, thanks for the offer ,, LOL,,
I had a great time as usual, nothing like flying in a blender,, early air was light,, and shifty,, later air was heavy ,, and shifty,, I think it changed like three times on me during each flight,, it was LOTS of fun,,
