It is funny to think that a 1 minute delta between winner and loser is a total beat-down. What short attention span I have now... The irony here, of course, is that those were two lappers.

As I've been saying since Gino Morelli brought it up, they (we) need to work on an adjustable flap to adjust the ride height. The Moth guys have figured it out, we just need to adapt it to our steering system. Looks like Frank Camas has it figured out on that Flying Phantom too. Anyone know what he's using on his rudders for elevator controls? Here's something easier, for you 'over 50' guys. A guy on my lake has one, I've seen him do some flips, but not over my dock...yet! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7B1oYqGW1s I am not putting a hydraulic grinding station on my F18.
