Yes!

 

I've come so close to his times! I'm just not sure how many more years I
have left in my arm. I would love to better his time. (he flew back when
Glastonbury was still a Cat 1 site. rules have changed and now Glastonbury
is a very low Cat 2 site.)

Good to hear John! Isn't that where Dr. Drela used to fly?

Bill, I'm still chucking low ceiling gliders here in Connecticut at
Glastonbury High School. We have a couple of other folks also flying them.

First place for Mr. Perez today!

And actually I don't think there are any other low ceiling glider fliers in
the Eastern USA besides me. Or if there are I can't find them!

I guess it's just too hard.

Sebastian did a good job at the state finals today with a two flight total
of about 54 seconds. I don't know how he placed yet. I stayed for about an
hour after he flew and didn't see any glider flights longer than a few
seconds. There were several kit gliders that looked nice but the kids had no
idea how to make them fly. I guess this isn't too surprising when you
consider that there are no low ceiling indoor glider fliers in this area
other than me.
