Well it looks as if on this fine looking Sunday anyways I Will not be Flying. Because Pilot-X who is the driving force behind My efforts to Fly can not Be a Driving Force, Due to how He Tweaked His Back at work last Friday. So for another Week or possibly More I will remain Flightless. Heck I have not Flown in Twelve Years, so what's another week?

So after Breakfast I will do My Work out. Yes for Me to Fly again involves a Filthy Foul, Four letter Word; WORK. I know that i will be banned for having in My Post a Four letter Word such as Work. But that is what is involved just so that I can have the opportunity to leave the Ground.

I have been literally been hopping and Praying that this Flying endeavor will come together for Me. So I hope to be able to meet ll of You Guys in May.

I also hope that all of You Get High and go Far.

Good By Chris

Be sure to bring your Dockweiler waiver. This is the second year in a row that Otto's Birthday (May 23) falls on a Monday or Tuesday. So this will be another truly "free flight" celebration.

Since you haven't flown in a while, I suggest getting here a few days earlier. You could take a lesson through Windsports on Saturday or Sunday. You could have John work with you on Monday. Then you'd be ready for all the fun on Tuesday (Otto's actual birthday). Maybe you and John (and some others?) might chip in on a hotel room nearby. I might consider that as well.

There are lots of options, but you should start planning now. Mostly, be sure that you have your Dockweiler waiver signed and ready. I think you got yours last year, but be sure you can still find it. Maybe take a picture of it and email it to a few of us (John, Frank, Joe, myself) so we have an electronic copy for backup. You don't want to be there and not be able to fly.

I am looking Forward to Flying a Huge Condor. Heck I do not know how to use words to express How Great that When I Fly,, it will be. I understand that The Condor is meant to only be Flown off a Training Hill. But Three Hundred Thirty Square Feet! Can You say Thermal Monster? But who knows? Wills Wing typically will release a Glider before all the Bugs have been worked out. Hence the Falcon One, Falcon Two. the Talon One, the Talon Two. The Sport One, the Sport Two, and so on. I do not know how many times that Wills Wing has made design changes to their Gliders. Maybe after I fly the Condor One, I will be waiting for the Design Changes that the Condor 330 wwil, the First redesign will hAve to offer. offer.
