My plans are very similar, except I can't make it to NAFA. I have a second year RT and have been bringing her weight down while a couple feathers finish growing. Mostly we've just been doing jump ups in the back yard, but with this cooler weather I think we can start progressing a little faster. There's not much of a chance that I could fly both daily into November. Having said that I know it's going to be tough to put the sharpy up when she has become so successful. As you said, the best laid plans..
