Default TAS reports
OK, since no one has started a report thread, I guess I will have to.

I'm about done packing, just have to find a place to put the clothes now. I've got chargers, power supplies, spare parts, tool box, transmitter... but no clothes. I've got all my sequences, music and stick plane... but no clothes. Hmmm, guess I'll be doing some shopping once I get there.

Practice starts Saturday (Right Billy? just not too early, gonna have a late Friday night). I'll try and post some pics, but if it's like any other trip, I'll be too busy to actually take any.

Hey with Tuscon in the desert and the desert sand storms that can come through, maybe a good accessory to have max would be a keffiyeh-head scarf with the flying giants logos on it, like yasser's, id buy one for sure for sun and wind burn hurts, and no one likes to be called prawn-shrimp head...

To answer your question dubya, shrimp are called prawns when they approach the size and price of a good steak. Same bottom feeding sea-rats, different name. Now if you keep hijacking Jason's tas thread, I'm going to be forced to ship your beloved countrymen Howie, Mick & Rod back home in straightjackets.
