Warmups.  Mike Mosman, Harold Ames, and Paul LeMasters fly the Mini-Ryv stacks.   They were happy to get them back on the ground without crashing or tangling them
Doug Charleville flying one of the stacks. One of the buggy guys stopped by to try. Found them to be quite a challenge... ...so headed back for the buggy area.
