Brad's "Ultimate Bi-plane" flew pretty good, Brad did a good job! Did you see the form on the release of the yellow plane in frame (IMG) 4072? Beautiful!  ~>

[quoteand you looked good in those suspenders][/quote]

John was always ruining his maneuvers because he'd have to pull up his pants every time he reached upwards,  So, for instance, when he'd do his reverse wing-over his pants would fall down.  For the sake of the other flyers we had to do something!  We needed a set of suspenders that would do the job (for the sake of our sensibilities!)  I traveled all the way to Marinette Wisconsin just to find those suspenders for John.  At a Menards!

Thanks to those suspenders he's gone from an average so-so flyer to a Walker Cup contender.

Yep, sometimes it's the small changes that make a big difference.
