Title: My trip out west
Post by: RC Storick on November 26, 2007, 04:25:25 PM: I have returned back to the Las Vegas area. As most know my mom is battling cancer and loosing. The trip was made a little brighter by seeing some of the guys at the fields. The first Sunday Warren Spooner my Dad and myself went to the field which is over a hr away. Last year I sold Joey my #1 T-Bolt. while there I was flying it. I noticed it didn't fly the same? I told Joey to get a new set of lines and that we would make them 66 feet eye to eye. after measuring the old Line length it was 77 feet. still flew OK just a little slow.We had a few flights and then the gang went to breakfast. Picture included.

The next Sunday Joey Mathison our speed forum moderator came all the way out to get me and then a long drive home. Thats over 400 miles to take my flying. I thank you Joey!

I am sorry for what occasioned the trip, but I am glad you got to get together with some of the guys. I am sure they enjoyed it as much as you did and it gave them a chance to say "Thanks" for all you have done for them. (and the rest of us also)
