Well I did my best to up my circling % today, up in the 70's today so we're in the same leauge. Can't help but notice you had to step up to the high performance SGS 2-33 today. *The performance will spoil you if you're not careful.


Good Job Kid on Saturday! I knows it can be purty windy out there in
Kansas, I done flewed there at at that there Sunflower place once back
in the last century, lemmisee, think it was 'round about the 1980s or
so, but you done good fer tryin' anyways.
Fact is, it was purty windy here in Cali. two. Sorry 'bout resortin'
to usin' that 2-33 supership, but there's this
local kid been hanging 'round the Avenal gliderdrome lately, comes out
on his bicycle and been helpin' with the
towropes, tyin' down and such. So I 'decided to give him a ride. He
didn't get sick or 'nothin, and seemed to have
a good ol' time of it. But, somethin's goin' wrong, my thermalin'
percentage time done dropped way down to 53.53, I
can see I gots a lot of work ta do. We gots one guy in this Avenal
club name 'a Morgan Hall that really needs a
lot 'a coachin' - his thermalin' percentage time is a way down about
8% lately. He's a former hangin' glider piluot,
so I think maybe he's got some wrong mental concepts or somthin'.
