flying season, ceteras perabus, the nats champion in every class would be
someone from a warm weather state the majority of the time. Perhaps that is the
case as I am not sure where all the top competitors are from. I do know
that a couple of my neighbors to the immediate north west are always very
competitive, and the Ohio contingent has not exactly embarrassed themselves,
present company excluded of course. Maybe there is an advantage to a flying off
season when it comes to being able to focus. Bob Fortino is the
picture of focus and concentration, I wonder if he could keep up that level of
intense concentration for a 10 month flying season. Not to mention what he
would spend on fuel. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I feel bad for you "year round" flyers. Not sure how you stay
"excited"<br>
about the sport. In this neck of the woods (Cleveland) we have a pretty<br>
even split...6 months of building, 6 months of flying. Without it, I'd have<br>
been burnt out years ago.<br>
<br>
As it is now...come September, October...I'm tired of dragging the plane to<br>
the field...and start to get an itch to clean the workshop, and embark on a<br>
new project (This year is ambitious for me...2 35% IMAC planes, Painting a<br>
new all composite Pattern plane, some comprehensive repairs, and a new<br>
trainer for my son (building from scratch with a 7 year old is ambitious all<br>
by itself))<br>
<br>
Come April..and the Toledo show...The desire to get out and fly is almost<br>
overwhelming. I get to start the season with a whole new lust for the<br>
sport.<br>
<br>
On days like today...cold, windy, dreary...I'm jealous. But in general,<br>
I'll keep changing seasons...and changing hobbies :):):)<br>

Winter has been here for a while now. I have about 44 inches of snow on<br>
the ground and it was a balmy -17F when I left for work. In the center of<br>
the state it was a little cold at -60F. Ahhh cant wait for spring. Come<br>
on May.<br>
