Left the house at 8:30 am with windshield wipers going. Returned home from the field at noon with wipers going. The time at the field was glorious. No wind, not a drop of rain, dense air for prop bite, had to wear sunglasses and a baseball cap. Cadez, Dr. John and Peter P. dropped by as witnesses. Four flights and only one crash. A great ratio.
Hey Andy, a great quote from Dr. John for those of us who continually try to define and achieve mediocrity:
"crashing closer to the runway (versus the field) is a form of improvement" :D

Thank you Frank. I took your advice and went around 4:30p. As you said, zero wind. Mike H was at the field too. Few of us flew the biplanes. I even maiden the Theory W wing.
Wow! Frank really lucked out. He totally missed me between 1:00 and 3:00. I dodged a few showers and one thunderstorm, but otherwise winds were almost non-existent. Runway was freshly washed, too, and the airborne flocks of geese were cooperative. Beautiful day!

Andy,
re: "Beautiful day!"
Only because it was "Frank-less" for you. Remember, It was Andy-less for me. 8)
Heck, we both won. ;D
