Orlando Buzzards Gentle Lady Sat May 2nd, RES, Sun May 3rd

[raed5]

Our annual Gentle Lady Plus contest is approaching fast, this year there is a twist, we are also holding our RES contest #2 on Sunday, which would make it worth while for folks driving from out of town.
The Gentle Lady is open to any 2 meter rudder/elevator glider, the RES is any rudder/elevator/spoiler glider (or just rudder/elevator).
Flying starts at 10 am Saturday, 9 am Sunday.
Food will be provided at the field both days.

I would not be able to offer the Gentle Lady raffle this year, I got a late start on building it, and I won't be able to finish it on time. Next year I will start on it early. (I edited my previous post to reflect that)

That flyer is inaccurate.




The grillmaster is much better looking than the picture depicts.

:D

And the hot dogs and hamburgers are bigger.

Are any of you Buzzards going to Punta Gorda this weekend?

[R. Carver]

I think Rick may be going. I'm on call this weekend so I won't be able to make it.

I heard Rick, Gordon and Don Grisham.

I hope you all have made your plans to attend, the weather forecast looks really good, winds 6-8 mph out the south southeast, temps about 85.
As Gordy would say: "I petty the fool ..."
See you all there.
