Ron Clarke's Gel Coat Jamboree

The CISS hangar was turned into a glider repair shop the past few days as several members honed their skills under the watchful eye of expert David Nelson. David has a reputation as one of the best in the country, and has "tuned" the gliders of pilots representing the US in the world competitions. Todd Rutledge should be able to identify the folks working on their gliders from the photos and add a few points to their handicaps for the CISS contest next year. Some minor repairs were also made to the Grob rudder. Thanks to Ron for setting up the event and to all the members who participated. There is already talk of "next year" for another few days of fun and fixing the little nicks and dings that seem to accumulate over the flying season.
