Wanaka....Saturday

Posted by Dave on Sat Apr 10, 2004 04:18:05 AM

Well first of the main show days today ... weather was threatening early on , but turned out fine , but a cold wind coming off the snow covered alps [ nothing a few beers didn't take care of ;-0 ].
A few dramas with the cross wind , so a few 'go arounds' ..and the comment for the Birddog landing was ..a very nice three pointer..'two wheels and the prop ' ;-) . Almost but not quite.. bet he got a fright though!
La 9 looked a powerful machine ..but was unable to do much of a display due to a rudder shake problem and it landed prity smartly . Should be back in action tomorrow ...
