Well guys it is every bit as good as they say it is. To attend parties with the likes of Ted Fanchier, Bob Hunt and the likes is a great thrill for me. Today I followed Rene Berger from Switzerland, he is as good as you have heard and a real nice guy. I got my first flight in with only a miner bobble, I did the wing over out of sequence. Tomorrow for my second flight Larry Renger will be in the circle with me to keep me on the straight and narrow. I learned a valuable lessen this morning when we arrived I got my gallon of 15% and set out to do a simple needle flight and had nothing but trouble. I was about to change glow plugs when I found out it was loose. I put in a new plug and had to start over, I was lucky to get everything running right before my first flight.
Last night we attended a party at the Heyworth home and it was an opportunity to meet many of the people we talk to on the various web sites. I finally got to meet Doc Holiday, you just got to like this guy! We hit it off right from the start.
I look forward to tomorrow and the remaining days here in Tucson. I had a problem with my new digital camera, but it was solved this evening. So I should have pictures tomorrow and the remainder of the event.
Wish you all were here!
