Enjoy !

A magnificent adventure, but great to be back home with Renee and
Rupert !

Thanks for sharing, Dave. I enjoyed reading your daily reports. Must
be nice to have your crew reduced to a single switch............how's
it marked? Stand-by and Take me home?


If you have one of those switches, you might find that your crew is more
willing to go to a contest or soaring camp! That's my observation and
personal experience. Irony, huh?

Though, I have to admit, I have several of those "switches", giving me a
greater opportunity to have one set in the wrong position. A single
lever control like the Antares has to be the gold standard.
