Default Re: 2009 TEAM USA IN PORTUGAL UPDATES!

Traveling is always an adventure and this one is no different. A few delays here and there... customs not letting us through with our $500 dollar plane(s) , looking for FedEx but finding the airport again (pure luck)... and to top it all off, spending the day sick in the room, with the broken air conditioning...lol. BUT, even with the forklift forks busting through my box, both my planes, and all the rest of the teams planes, made it without a scratch.

Today the guys went out to the field to get some practice in. Andrew arrived and eventually met them out there as well. Seems that we are flying in a bit of a valley so the winds up high are at times different then what is at the ground level. The Canadians were there as was Shane Robinson from Ireland practicing as well. Seems the trim of the day was adding down elevator trim. Not sure why, but I guess I'll start by adding some before I fly tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll get to see what fun they had today.
