  Some really excellent glider flying today. Todd Reynolds is now solidly
  MMM's best HLG flyer--indoors and out. Today he crushed the site record with
  a new glider that posted two 41.3s on its first two officials! This is more
  than 6 seconds over Romash's 2-flight site record from 2005! The model is a
  smallish flapper on the small side at about 70 s.i. and 8 grams.

  In UCLG Romash pulled out a new glider that beat my club record by a couple
  of seconds. The model was doing 44.x on test flights! Note to Bill Gowen:
  your 84.7 sec 2-flight site record may be history soon!

  Rubber times: Nothing spectacular. It windy outside today so the air was a
  bit iffy. Romash did do 8:19 in Ministick, only 2 sec short of Tom Sova's
  site record.

  More tomorrow.
