Stooging in Walkersville-Part 2

First, the promised pictures are not here. All of a sudden Hello is not working. Must be a problem with Google servers. Waiting for the server problem to be fixed.
Otherwise this will be a text only blog (ARRRRGHHH)
Went home yesterday after losing the needle for the Nipper and brought out the old reliable Flying Clown.
Took about 3 flights to reset the needle for this field. The engine kept running rich. Did a lot of lazy eights and loops, but just did not want to try overheads. The air at this field seems to require some reeducation on my part. I am used to flying at the SLOW Club field, but the air here seems to require completely different needle settings.
The last two flights were pretty good. The engine ran fast enough for overheads for the last half of the flight.
So I was able to have some fun with the Flying Clown.
If Hello ever starts working again, I will post some Flying Clown pictures taken at the field yesterday.
