Great conditions. 100° and dead calm outside and 85° inside with a
22' nearly smooth ceiling. Late in the flight the model hit some kind
of an air bubble or whatever, stopped and dropped 4-6 feet which at
this point it could not regain. Mark said he had about 2 minutes left
of turns so he is quite right in that there definitely is more to be
had. Beautiful flight!
