99% of the time, Dave.

    Just returned from the SERFI where Tracy and Finn were also there with
their Rotaries.  Finn and I made a formation (more or less) take off and
then a high speed pass for the crowd before heading home.

    My %$^# flop tube is still hung up in my right tank so can't use the
last three gallons in that tank.  Tried rocking the wings to unstick it but
looks like I am going to have to take the tank off.  But, no additional
gliding minutes to put in my log book {:>).
