The Trek Begins

The Sweet Tea Express was scheduled to leave today for Big Spring. Onboard will be Chris, Jonny, and Atilla (he was scheduled to arrive in LA today I believe). Having Chris there will help solidify the driver situation but from the sounds of it, there isn't really a situation other than who is getting who as a driver.

The WienerWagon is scheduled to depart on Thursday and the BloomMobile will follow on Friday morning. Most of the crew will be flying on Saturday for pratice and some impromptu tasks. Apparently there's some other activities going on Saturday for the Big Spring public that shows up. Here's some information posted in the online version of the local news rag in Big Spring.

I met Ron Wieners friend and fellow Israel team member today after work in the LZ. They picked up his new T2 yesterday and flew today at Sylmar. Looks like he has some tuning to do and will likely take care of that at El Mirage tomorrow (too much pitch pressure at full VG). I had the same issue and ended up going down on the sprogs (inboard and outboard). I still have positive pitch pressure throughout the entire speed range but not nearly as much as I did prior to the adjustment. I'm sure we'll do some comparisons while in Texas. Hungary Joe is having a special tow clinic for him tomorrow (what a guy).
