[Mr Loopy]

Good chance to get away from the kids!!!
Patrick are you keen to be on the "select comittee" for aerobatics in CMAC? You can come to the boring meetings and have your say :-) but won't beable to vote.

that sounds like a hiding to nothing. go any way patrick. that way you will know where you stand. shift south ? lots of snow this morning. another day in the model room on the "edge" fuse all finished. wings next. wife away for 2 weeks so no wasted time on house work. alex

why judging days are held. it would seem some judges dont believe what their eyes are telling them. as some of you will know i have recieved more than my fair share of zero's when flying my edge 540. as a full size flying instructor for 30 + years i do know about spin entry and spin recovery, or i would not be sitting in this chair rambling on. maybe i am a slow learner? alex

Nothing wrong with having a judging day, In fact I think it is a good idea... Jonathan and I have a DVD which coveres the judges briefing at the Tucson shootout, I think that would be a good start - I don't think you'll have a great deal of success running a judging day at the field in the middle of winter... us 'youngsters' have enough trouble getting up early in the morning for work or school let alone standing around in the cold listening to people like you ramble on for a couple of hours! perhaps we could do more of a judges briefing on the friday night before the next round at Dunedin? of course you'd have to make the trip up the day before Alec...

only 2 hrs ? alex

[NZ Scythe]

Don't mean to be rude but listening to you for two hours is worse than watching back to back episodes of coronation street!

what was I thinking - of course I meant to be rude!

Now your talking Patrick ! Of corse we will need some beers to help endure the ramblings.
