[LASS Soaring] 2-Channel warm up contest #2

[Dion Dunn]

First off, a BIG thank you to everyone for coming out and having fun today.
It was a little hectic, but we will smooth things out as the year
progresses.  Most importantly, everyone took their planes home in one piece
and as far as I could tell, we all had fun.  Ben, thanks for working the
scores all day and getting them posted on the website so quickly.

 

For those of you that missed it, highlights for the day:

 

1)       Let's here it for Mother Nature - nice Spring day, lift floating
through the field, and my first sunburn on the back of the neck.

2)       I may be the only person that gets hit by his own sailplane in the
landing zone

3)       Ben agrees to switch planes with Lee, then gets beat by his own
plane (and a better, younger pilot) - :-)

4)       Hank gets a very respectable 7 minute flight on a 7 minute task,
even with 5 people telling him how to fly his plane

5)       Bruce has a couple of launches higher than some of our hi-start
launches (of course he had a DLG)

6)       4 hi-starts in a pseudo MOM format made for some great looking
launches

7)       Dave skips the last round and still finishes higher than me

8)       Ben's 100 point landing with no landing control

9)       Lee showing us all how it's done..

 

Let's get 3-4 more people out for the contest on the Sunday of April 5th.
As the CD, I may even bring drinks.

 

And a BIG thank you for all of the help at the field today, and patience
with me as the rookie pilot and rookie CD.

 

Dion
