Markham Park, outside of Fort Lauderdale today. A man was adjusting a running engine from what I was told.

At our field of old codgers, one has been flying for 40 years. He started his .049 powered 2 meter powered glider, and because he had a screwy grip on it, while trying to get to his radio and pick the glider up to launch it, he put his wrist close enough to it to take a patch of skin off the top..... I don't think he needed stitches, but it was about the size of a postage stamp and took a month to heal up.....

Even the little ones bite. . Arne, USA
