Back-stepping hard for clover turn 1.

Josias armed, Orestes holding.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #202 on:** September 01, 2013, 08:04:57 AM »

Anticipation.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #203 on:** September 01, 2013, 08:07:54 AM »

Josias seeing some vertical bobble on level laps in the breeze. It's not bad but maybe getting thermals breaking off the pavement as the sun is warming it.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #204 on:** September 01, 2013, 08:10:09 AM »

Eric Taylor next. Fires and launches.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #205 on:** September 01, 2013, 08:11:35 AM »

Well executed wing over. Getting that level flight bobble.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #206 on:** September 01, 2013, 08:12:51 AM »

A nice flying SV 11. Guessing PA .65.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #207 on:** September 01, 2013, 08:18:41 AM »

Howard again. Spool up and takeoff. 5.3.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #208 on:** September 01, 2013, 08:20:56 AM »

Maintained a nice groove inverted, looking for a little lower bottoms. Finding them most of the time.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #209 on:** September 01, 2013, 08:23:21 AM »

By the look on his face not sure he was pleased with his hourglass-wasn't bad.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #210 on:** September 01, 2013, 08:24:59 AM »

Joe Gilbert comes on. Colleen is his able helper. Starts inverted. Immediate fire.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #211 on:** September 01, 2013, 08:27:20 AM »

Exit reverse wing over.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #212 on:** September 01, 2013, 08:29:04 AM »

H8 over Denny's shoulder.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #213 on:** September 01, 2013, 08:30:56 AM »

Bob calls the score, daughter records.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #214 on:** September 01, 2013, 08:32:49 AM »

Curt Contra and Jim Lynch jots it down.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #215 on:** September 01, 2013, 08:35:40 AM »

Orestes on real-slow start up. Prop turning, Josias already
walking away, airplane hasn't moved yet.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #216 on:** September 01, 2013, 08:38:45 AM »

Orestes has probably the cleanest corners here today. I don't have the number but this Shark must be very light. I'm jealous.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #217 on:** September 01, 2013, 08:41:42 AM »

Kenny signals.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #218 on:** September 01, 2013, 08:44:36 AM »

These overpasses from across the road have
been a little bothersome all week.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #219 on:** September 01, 2013, 08:46:57 AM »

On one occasion Friday one flyer on 4 found a scale ship at the top of his wing over- maybe 15-20 ft. clearance if that.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #220 on:** September 01, 2013, 08:48:05 AM »

Rich up again, his lovely bride doing the pit work.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #221 on:** September 01, 2013, 08:50:32 AM »

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #222 on:** September 01, 2013, 08:55:49 AM »

Maybe Richards best all weekend.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #223 on:** September 01, 2013, 08:56:56 AM »

Howard comes on for his final flight today.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #224 on:** September 01, 2013, 08:57:35 AM »

Any chance of a peek at the scoreboard?

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #232 on:** September 01, 2013, 09:23:17 AM »
