<DIV>Hi</DIV>
<DIV>I had to respond to this email comment posted on our list. I recently had a conversation just about this topic. When I first started flying pattern there were several pilots from our club flying together. </DIV>
<DIV>At one event my engine flamed out and we could not fix it. A group of us were very close in the numbers for a win.</DIV>
<DIV> One of the pilots gave me his plane to fly. I certainly did not want to but I did. Turned out I did win with his plane. He was laughing and complaining about that for years. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>He was hobby shop owner and just didn't get out to practice like he wanted to.</DIV>
<DIV>I would not borrow a plane in a contest today! I did not know then how many things can go wrong when you just do not expect it. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> IF I do fly another pilots plane on the field I know I would be responsible if something happened to it. I have flown other planes but not at a contest. There is just to much going on and keeping a check on everything is just to much stress. </DIV>
