[LASS Soaring] "Ed Wilson, Candidate for LSF VP...and Why He Should Be!"

[GordySoar at aol.com]

Ed is an active builder flyer...the kind of guy who has  been there done that 
in the hobby.  A skilled hobbiest with experience in  wood thru composite 
construction..a talented and awarded thumb. A guy who has  traveled for contests. 
 He knows the hobby and what it needs to grow the  hobby and LSF.
 
He personally mentored two of the top sailplaners in the  country (well three 
if you count me:-)...Bruce (the arm) Davidson, and our own  Little Lee (11 
year old winner at Tullahoma).
 
LSF 5, past VP (glutton for punishment or feels he still  has some things to 
accomplish in LSF?).

When everything is said and done,  when it comes to RC Soaring, with Ed, more 
is always done than  said.
