Default Brad's old Russia

That being said, I totally agree that the Russia was a great little
ship! I see that the one I built is up for sale too, guess
why.............all his buddies fly long wingers too in Texas!

Cheers,
Brad


Brad,

I'm one of those buddies. I've flown many hundreds of miles side by side
with your old ship. A friend and I team flew X/C for several years in the
Russias. Major enjoyment for very few $$$! Let's hope the '20 turns out
to be as much fun.

Brian

Oh? very cool!
I heard that he did some cockpit improvements etc...........

Bet you really enjoy the long legs the -20 will give you.

I am working with Bob K on the HP-24 and should have one flying by
2010

Brad

BTW............how did those blue tips do in the Texas sun??

This past season I
started flying in the Texas Hill Country. I found that it takes a really
booming day (or some really big cahones) *to go deep into it with a 31:1
ship. I found it interesting that the distributor of Anteres found the
Hill Country intimidating in his 20 meter motor glider. Imagine how I feel
in a Russia!
Brian


Its not intimidating if you don't look down.
See ya, Dave "YO electric"

PS: That's "Antares 20E"...
