[LASS Soaring] "New Carbon Supra Light Arrived! Yep, its the "World's Heaviest""

[GordySoar at aol.com]

I'm in Milwaukee for my dad's funeral this weekend. He'd been a stroke  
victim for the past 7 years, one hand and grunts but still there.  Had a  chance to 
visit with him and to have that talk most of us wish we could have  before 
our parents pass...and had a couple shots and beers too :-)
 
He was an RC sailplaner, a modeler airplane builder since he was a kid, and  
the reason I got started.

I know he'd be pumped to know that my new Clite Supra arrived.  My  standard 
World's Heaviest Carbon Supra, got some nicks and dings when the  battery 
cells shorted against each other on a launch, ending up in three  branches, but to 
small coke can skins patches and some polish has it looking  like new again.
 
The new version of the Perfect should arrive next month in time for my  
birthday, I ordered three, so starting to sweat cuz I had planned on shoveling  
driveways to get up the cash to pay for them :-)
 
Believe it or not I was on the beach today, lake Michigan, Winnetka  
Illinois, in a polo shirt, calm winds and warm!
 
Trying to work out the details to attend the SWC in Feb, but its more of a  
dream right now than a possibility. I have a feeling this might be the best 
year  ever, weather wize.  We'll see.
 
This weekend Milwaukee for my dad, and then home for a week, then down to  
Florida for more time on the beaches....maybe a contest on the west coast  ;-)
 
Then off to Mexico for a week or two.
 
I managed to scrounge a tip and fuse to get my original Perfect going  (blems 
from my friends in CZ, so if you see me with a harlequin Perfect you'll  know 
why :-) too valuable to not getting going.
