Brian flying. Dennis and a couple of nice looking birds. Jenni, Val and Bonnie. Joe and Rosemarie Parisi.
I take my model into the circle for an official flight. I signal the judges and the clock starts. I now have one minute to become airborne. I only ever trust Dennis to launch my planes properly. He straightens his hands and lets the plane fly away from him without any inputs from him. Look at his hands. I bring Dennis' plane back to the pits after an official flight.
