Hi Terry (FireFly),
Was glad to see that you and Wilmar were able to fly in to the event on Sunday 12/03/06. Wish I had done so. Earlier in the week they were predicting high winds, but fortunately that changed and the day was really pretty good, although a little on the cold side. I saw that you had dressed warmly, but with the short windshield, do you still get cold? I cannot stand the cold anymore. Maybe age has something to do with it. I do have a full coverage canopy, but had removed the side/rear windows for the summer and because we've been having a warm fall, I haven't installed them yet. But now I believe winter is here, so next time I fly, they'll be on. Hope to see you again at Homers, if that visit becomes a reality.

Hey Bill,
Good to see you again! Nice turn out at Massey even if things were a bit on the cold side. Was glad to get there after an hour long flight with cockpit temps of about 36 deg. Wilmer gets me to do things I might not otherwise. He is the senior flyer, most hours flown per year, in this part of the country! The sitting still for that long is what catches up with you. Have consider building a full enclosure several times, but then nixed it. I enjoy the open cockpit flying too much and it would be too much of a hassle for the couple of months I would need it and then having to take it off again. Of course a full enclosure would improve performance by lowering the drag. As I tell most that ask, I just wear what I do to go skiing. Flying still beats skiing!!!!
