Thanks Rick. Everyone flew well yesterday. That last heat was really fun.

Dave you are spot on! Quality has gone down and replaced with lower quality
planes. And with the lower quality comes added stuff we don't needed,e.g.,
the Night Radian. Lights on a sailplane? I'll venture to say that 95%+
flyers don't fly at night. So why put lights - and the added costs -- on the
Radian?
Rick
p.s. Really enjoy watching you fly your backup sailplane. Truly outstanding.

Radian quality definitely isn’t what it was when I bought my first one (which
lasted me until just last fall) in 2012. When I bought the replacement I had
to replace servos, beef up several things, and then yesterday the brand new
hub and spinner exploded on first use. Good we aren’t trying to fly today!!!!

Had a good time yesterday, even though my Radian motor had a problem.
We got lucky with the weather, 15 mph wind here this morning.
I will send out the scores Real Soon Now™️
