Hi Don,
At the contest last weekend it was gorgeous on Friday, marginal on Saturday morning and rained all afternoon.Got progressively worse as the day went on. We got one round in for Classic, but pretty much everyone bailed on the second round except Greg Hart. It was great watching Greg out there flying a pattern in a driving rain storm while we stood under cover. The judges were also sitting under cover. Sorry Greg, down wind is now directed to be opposite us (no wind to speak of). It was bad enough that during my official flight, the control surfaces swelled slightly and cause them to hit the fairings as the control surfaces past neutral. Made for an interesting flight. Teach me to get clever with the fit..
Sunday was partly cloudy and dead calm all day. Other than having to do maneuvers while walking backward (tough for those of us that can't walk and chew gum at the same time), it was a beautiful day. A great turnout and many, many beautiful airplanes.
