I'm still not sure of the schedule for my surgery. The new arm isn't too much for them, but the breathing apparatus and the Vader helmet, they're having trouble finding those exact parts. If I can, I'll be there. If not, you'll have to start without me.

Some final info on the contest....

Basic 10 minute thermal duration with normalized scoring and landing points. Depending on final number of pilots, we may vary the thermal time task.

Expect partly cloudy and probably around 10-15 MPH winds.

No refreshments provided at the field, but there will be a lunch break and there are several fast food type places very nearby.

Bring Shade, chairs, and water.

Porto-Potty at the field.

$10 entry fee. Raffle for three sailplanes (so far) and some other goodies.

Trophys for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place RES and Unlimited.

Ya'll come and fly with us!

Hawks,

Turned out to be a very good day... Many thanks to Tommy, John, and Dave, Jim, and Roland for the brains, and brawn that made the Deep South work. I'll be posting the results on the website, probably tomorrow AM. http://www.houstonhawks.org/

We had quite a few visitors, and I believe we will have at least two new members soon.

Roland got about 300 pictures. He is picking the cherries tonight, and I'll have the album up soon.

I have friends over, and we're having an adult beverage at the patio. Kinda' proud of my 3rd Place RES plaque.... I hope you all had a good time flying and visiting with us.

Thanks to all who attended! .
