Yep, and Buxton dragged his sorry 7th place throwing butt home early
to start a new fleet of DLG gliders...The game has changed. Past two
contests I was thouroughly upstaged by a DLG glider (indoor at
Kibbie, outdoor at Muncie), that pattern has to stop. If you cannot
beat em, join em.

Bruce was flying his version of Mark's DLG glider, and it was
sickeningly repeatble. Had he not short Dt's one flight he would
have maxed out on a day when nobody else even had two maxes on the
board. Oh, and second polace went to Stan Buddenbohm, flying a
folder! The once mighty arms of Buxton and Lewis were way down the
list in 7th and 8th. Good thing thermal picking is not a requisite
skill for indoor.

Sorry for the slightly OT post, but I know there are some
indoor/outdoor guys that will want to stay abreast of this. Any of
you guys that want to hear more about the way HLG is evolving, there
is a very active community over on Small Flying Arts. By the way
Rob, Batiuk got by both me and Jim for 5th, sorry.

My feet, arm, and skin all hurt.
