Geof,Excellent points. Actually once you start explaining what you’re doing, they can be pretty helpful, (besides which I’ve encountered some semi-babes). ANDas uncomfortable as Joann’s is, buying slinky little black cocktail dresses from the area thrift shops is much worse…   Read more»

id love to goto joanne fabrics again, but the estrogen fat women who work there wont help a man #1 and #2 could careless what the hell i want cause they are in a bubble thinking that only women know…   Read more»

There are also some great on-line suppliers that are a bit cheaper, but I use both Joanns and Hancocks locally as color availability is sometimes poor–and yes a guy can walk in there w/o female backup, look the clerk in…   Read more»

Ha! Well, when I asked my wife if she would make a few chutes for me, she knew how few that wouldn’t be, and she said no, but she’d teach me how to use her machines. One, a heavy-duty programmable,…   Read more»

I took the wife and one of her friends.It dazzled them and made them weak.

Joann’s Fabrics! 🙂 That’s where I got the ripstop for chutes I’ve made. Had to take my wife with me; there was no way I was going into a fabric store without female support and backup. 8)

I finally found some pretty good light stuff at Joanne Fabrics InFort Collins. Had to ask for it. They had 3 or 4 colors. I’m notsure of the weight. I was much, much lighter than what I hadbeen using.

Top Flight Recovery http://www.topflightrecoveryllc.homestead.com/ has the 1.1 oz very thin rip stop nylon. I’ve used them before when I need a big chute in a small space.Doug

Now there’s an evil idea… everyone goes for broke with minimum diameter birds that hit 12K or even 14K or more and loses their bird… the winner flies a 6″ stubby that barely tops 2K and wins…WarrenThat is very precisely…   Read more»

Here’s another extreme idea. Have the SSS with no tracking and a J350. Think about it…. someone could lay in the weeds and watch everyone else go for broke and win it with a pooch shot. ‘Twould be an interesting…   Read more»

JW,I’m not that much in favor of making it natl as too much opportunity for cheating, but if there were 3 or 4 clubs where we could place absolute confidence in the results of a contest, I can see expanding…   Read more»

Interesting thoughts, guys. I, for one, would like to keep it local. Great idea to increment the cost for add’l entries, etc. I don’t think there would be many who’d match the pot, but I’m sure there are some who’d…   Read more»

Back in the eraly days of the SSS John Wilke and I discussed some other options, one of which was a balls out pot matching scheme whereby I flyer could fly a second time but only if willing to match…   Read more»

Hey, for a grand, I might even come up with fins that even I can’t smash off. 😯 I’m shutting up AGAIN now… 🙂

John, I like this. I remember asking about multiple entries for this year, but we shot it down. I’m glad to see you’ve reconsidered on that. I’d love to see a $1000 pot myself and I would enter more than…   Read more»

Lets all figure out a way to have a HUGE SSS contest next year. I say we shoot for a $1,000 kitty. Here are my proposals, in no particular order:a.) G80, so we have an assured source of propulsion (under…   Read more»

Hmm – the I600 has some potential.Then again, so does the Loki I110…There is also news of a new J825R for the 38/1080 case coming out soon – perhaps use that for a little more extreme flight? 😯 8)
