Hey Marguerite,

Hope you take the new plane out and do some flying with it... It was good seeing you again and we all had fun setting up the plane for you..

    Hi Terry     

   The AGS  contest event IS one of the best contest I have ever been to in any type of flying event.  Breakfast was as good as any resturant!    Pancakes  toast and eggs
  sausage  juice etc etc.. Barbeque lunch also. This made  it so much easier to be at the flying flied.

   .Saturdays Dinner was EXCEPTIONAL   A full buffet dinner and dessert. We were amazed at the work that was put into this event.
  The contest ran smoothly and  quickly.   Everyone seemed to have a great time all day.

  The judges were experienced and were from a club that  that have leaders who have led the National  Pattern events. Who could ask for more.
     
  I would like to extend my thanks to Bob Noll and his club for giving up there personal time to put on this event. 

  I only flew one round to test out a new plane purchased that day. It was great fun and we enjoyed the weekend very much.  I have the new sequel it flys PERFECT..............  
   THANKS AGAIN to ALL of AGS
  Marguerite
