If you like bowling then you may like to try aero-bowling. We are adding a
new event to our annual Fly-in. Along with our usual events such as dead stick landing and bomb drop we are having aero-bowling this year. I have watched some folks try it and it is very challenging as well as funny to see how far off some people get with the balls. -- Flying Gators annual Fly-in http://www.mitchellwing.com/flying_g...annual_fly.htm Private Pilot in 10 days http://www.perfectplanes.com Have a good day and stay out of the trees!

I flew my tripacer for that event at our annual aviation festival a couple
of weeks ago. Got a chute caught on the tailbrace wire. Wasn't a fun experience. Fortunately, it shredded by the time I got partway down the downwind leg adn we had an uneventful landing. Neede to rig them with more of a delay and have a better delivery system. Be careful out there. mike regish "Dylan Smith" wrote in message ...

At the local hamfests there used to be a guy who had hundreds of army green cans marked "parachute, feline". Cat parachutes. |
