USA Nationals 2011 DVD


Fellow Free Flighters,

I am happy to announce that the 2011 Free Flight Nats DVD is finished and available to purchase on my website..

http://www.homegrowntv.com/catalog.html

If you did not attend the Nats here is your chance to see some of the action that you missed without having to suffer the oppressive 90+ degree heat and humidity.

You may now go back to your regular modeling activities.

Thermals,
 
Alan Abriss

LDA, Flap, Fold, Trad - so far

following a suggestion by Mr Rene Limberger, sportsman, late of this county - we have added second and third where known. We believe that said sportsman thinks this will show further dominance of LDA  ... F1A only?

please feel free to contribute - you can just reply to this message if you get it by e-mail
