A big shout out to Alan Resinger for taking the time to help me program my ESC and FM-9 timer.
And to Alan (figure 1 below) and Chris Cox from me for making me a fine new airscrew.
My trip to the GSSC was delayed a bit because: 1) the wife of the guy who builds my airplanes had to foist off delivering an airplane Tuesday on somebody else, and b) I had to come up with a spinner for my cool new 3-blade, backwards Canadian prop. I had one printed.
Trip down was uneventful. I-5 was foggy from Salem to Roseburg, OR, spoiling my view of potential flying fields, and smoky from Corning to Dunnigan, CA, causing me to reach behind my seat to see if the battery box was warm. We stopped at the obligatory In-N-Out Burger (no kin to the World Champion) and saw the vehicle illustrated in figure 2 below parked outside. "So what?" asked Marilou, "What's the big deal?" She was completely unfamiliar with the vehicle and could not identify it. I told her that that demonstrated a deficiency in the test administered to potential US citizenship candidates.
We arrived at the official GSSC hotel, greeted by Kirk Mullinnix and Bob Whitely, who expressed concern about whether I'd pass drug tests next year. The hotel had neglected to provide special Jive Combat Team parking, so we parked in the most special reserved place we found (with the desk clerk's blessing).
