D4 Championships

[Atwood, Mark]

As Bob mentioned...there were a few non-event hits, but in general...among what seemed like thousands of rounds of various size projectiles (including the 6 dozon sky rockets and 12 dozen bottle rockets that I alone brought...and I was one of the flyers....) in general...through endless slow passes and sustained torque rolls over the runway...the much taunted munitions bearing crew scored virtually no hits.  That's not to say there wasn't carnage...

Mike Mueller arguably won the nighttime "3 loops and land as fast as you can" contest, but lost the appeal as it was concluded that the in the process of "Combining" the last loop...with the landing, resulted in only a 7/8ths loop...ouch.

My Zagi took a couple of direct hits, not a scratch, they just kind of bounce off. There were two sheet foam park flyers duking it out and they proved to be able to take a hit and keep going. Based on their experience I might bring my Spad and Beaver park flyers next year.

I was sick all weekend and unable to attend what is definitely one of the finest contests in the district, if not the country. I just have to know, did anyone score a hit with the bottle rockets this year? I had planned to bring my secret weapon (special multi salvo launcher), but a nasty stomach virus kept me at home and close to the bathroom all weekend (I will spare you all the details).

event. I had a blast seeing old friends and meeting new ones. OK, I wont
wait 7 years to fly in another pattern contest. I had too much fun. Congrats
to all the winners and especially to Dave Lockhart. He flew great! Hope you
made it all the way home OK Dave.

We were going to do that this year and opted for the night carrier landing
instead. We'll do it next year...the MI crowd likes it because is gives
them a better target! :)
