Some particulars are shown.  It would be nice to have seen the
wind sock or some kind of wind speed indicator.  This is the 2011
competition.

A turbo rotary could beat this with 400 HP and an all carbon
fiber cub.

I spent a couple days hanging out with some of those guys at Oshkosh this
year.  They had a little completion at another airport across the lake.  I
told the guy who builds the BackCountry STOL Super Cub kits in Douglas, Wy.
that he ought to use rotaries.  He was very interested.  He was moving the
rest of his plant from Iowa to Douglas right after Oshkosh.

The kid that won the competition this year had a glacier fall on his plane
while he and dad were out fishing.  Pan Cake.
