We gonna have another L/D contest this weekend?
I wanna request that there be no landing rules this time. Some of us know how to launch and glide but can't land for shit. A separate contest should be held for those that wanna show off their ability to land.
I unnerstan Rob's view that "professionalism" is a good thing, but what about us professional whackers? We deserve recognition for our special skills, which are, by the way, much more entertaining than the other kind.
Nobody even bothers to watch Rob land HG. But I see youse guys while I'm turnin' final, jockeying for a good spot to observe my painful arrival, don't tell me you aren't anxiously awaiting my appearance over the field.

Steve,

I know the feeling. I got my new Sport2 only a few weeks ago and have already wacked it. I haven't landed it properly since I opened her up. Although this was the only wack, and actually the only down-tube Iv'e broken in over 130 flights, I'm still aggrevated I already broke my new bird.

See ya at the fly-in. Rob will have new parts for me there.

or the alcoa aluminum seismo-whack award.
I'm with you Steve, heck, good landings are dime a dozen. A full blown turtle whack is rarer and way more entertaining.

STEVE WINS

and a great round of applause to the alcoa award winner Mr Crash Corbin who selflessly sacrificed his right downtube to take the coveted alcoa award. Steve performed the seldom seen high popup flare with left wing elevated to perfection and the crowd's applause. ANOTHER 10! Thanks Steve!
