<p class="MsoNormal">Carl and all…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I swapped out my FrSky 20R for an X18RS due to form factor, size and weight. I upgraded the software and so now need to update the receiver firmware and see if everything moved over properly. Fingers crossed. I’m still trying to finish
up my Alpina GPS scratch build. I leave soon for a dog sniff even and then leave from there for Flight Safety so I’m gone soon for the rest of the month. That means I won’t be here the 22<sup>nd</sup> and Hal is gone so I’m thinking there won’t be enough
folks for a contest.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yea, I was rooting for JW, I wanted him to have that solo win at the Worlds in F5J. He’s certainly amazingly consistent. Appears the contest was well run. The USA has some great Junior flyers too!<o:p></o:p></p>
