On October 7th, Stan Roberts and Dave Hopkins had long flights off Henson's. It was launchable from both sides of the valley. The Lee Team launched from Whitwell a little late and got out about 45 miles. Stan and Dave launched early from Henson's at exactly the right time to get some big miles.

Sounds like Dave has a new record at about 135 miles! That is a great distance here since they had so many obstacles to dog leg around. Landed near my old home in Florence, Alabama! Hope they'll tell the tale soon, but from what Stan's wife Sandi is saying on the TTTFlymail on yahoogroups.com site, they were probably in the middle of a long retrieve. Stan was planning to break the new record on the 8th and Dave intended to defend it. Yes, it looked like record breaking weather again today for sure!

If it doesn't rain soon, these flying buddies from NY are gonna set some pretty high goals for the Lee team to chase! Sure hope they'll write their impressions of the meet and their great flights. Hope other clubs try out what the TTT pulled off this year. Sure was fun. Stan and Dave both talked about how much they were learning this week! Guess they are putting it to good use!

If other clubs would like to use the format for the scoring, the task committee and safety committee, they are welcome to pick it up from the www.Treetoppers.org site or from the TTTFlymail on yahoogroups.com site in the files.
