Hey Max... Dude, It's been a while... Just popped in to say "Hello" as requested. This thing should really be off-the-hook! Can't wait to get things loaded and start heading south. It'll be awesome to finally personally meet so many of the FG gang..

I just love being able to say "SEE YA IN TUCSON"!!!!!

Hi,

I have been a member of the Flying Giants since the beginning. I don't do a lot of posting, but I do a lot of reading. I was in the 2004 Shootout and won the Velox raffle prize. After flying it for a year, it met its demise. So I bought Zak West's Dalton 260 and that is what I will be flying at the 2006 Shootout.

Leaving Oregon on Saturday and hope to be at the Shootout field on Monday. Looking forward to meeting the FG gang. Sounds like there are more parties planned than flying--should be a good time!!!
