Thank you so much to:
Tom Roberts, who got his plane ready to fly, only to learn that I needed help. So he spent his day helping me. Later he disassembled his aircraft and put it away whithout ever flying himself.
Doug Bradley who took this picture and spent the afternoon in the heat helping us disassemble the 1-26.
Jake and Alex who helped take the plane apart in the heat.
Bill (?) who isn't even a member, help disassemble and re-assemble the glider.
Jim Rizzo, Esq., who loaned us his BMW to drive through the wheat field. We ripped off his license plate, and sand blasted (oat blasted) the bottom of his beautiful car.
Mr. Marksus (sp?) the farmer who so nicely allowed us to trample down his wheat early this season so that we could bring home the 1-26.
Kai Gertsen who instructed me on how to pick the best off field landing location. I would have surely paniced had it not been for Kai's lessons.
"We learn more from bridges that fall down than from those that don't."
I'm embarrased to say that the whole affair was avoidable. I learned a lot.
"Too soon old. Too late schmart."
This is a great club. Thank you all.
Jack
