Houston TX area 402 Pattern Shootout/Grudge Match

[Eddie Batchelor]

Now if I'm moving outta Sportsman into Intermediate please tell me Mark Hunt
is also moving up to Advanced. <VBG>
After all ( & I just checked Don's results page) he had :
2nd at Waco        beating 4 people
3rd at Temple       beating 4 people
3rd at Nederland   beating 7 people
3rd at North Dallas
1st place at Larks beating out 5 people

Just picking guys.
Looks like Mark will have a big bullseye on his back next year for all the
Intermediate guys to shoot at  :-))
This weekend should be a blast. I wish I could be there to at least watch
Eddie

  OK, this is the point where I'm supposed to whine about only having three
complete rounds due to dead-sticks in Waco. But the truth is that Mark
definitely deserved to beat me that weekend because he endured much worse
when he mid-aired his brand new plane and held himself together well enough
to finish the weekend with his backup.

  Mark was on my heels all season and we swapped plenty of rounds. I must
admit that I don't mind at all that he's staying in Intermediate ;-)  You
other Intermediate guys are going to have your work cut out for you next
year!

    The funny part is we will all be at Jim's house the night before
celebrating the closing of a great season.....Jim, unless you want to find a
fuel leak on sunday morning, hide your smudge and that Hydeaway! LOL.

    BTW, I did beat Keith...with a backup plane....see the Waco results on
Don Ramsey's site.  Gotta admit though, Keith is cool under pressure.

      Emails like beat this beat the **** out of whether you should use a 4
stroke or 2 stoke, what voltage your pack is running versus my pack.  I fly
pattern cause of the people , the challenge of putting the plane where I
want it to be and not where it ends up and the people, and having fun.  Plus
I like beating a few guys with my ARF ( Mark Hunt got your ears on?) and be
able to fly 3 rounds of Intermediate on one tank of fuel ( Richard Lewis
still working on a complete round) Martin Stohr is trying to figure out what
God Ron Barr used to make his previous pattern plane so successful and the
chickens are scared of JOE BO (major league anyone).  Jim Sheffield is
trying to acid dip his plane like the old drag racers and lower its overall
weight from 9.5 to 9.49 so his ridiculous vertical performance of late is
improved.  Tommy Scarmado has found his ideal landing gear and is just
waiting to abuse some Long term local intermediate class pilots with is
ability to improve overall flight performance.  Mark Hunt is still looking
for some insight on what he has to do to beat Keith Black.. well, not
anymore, Keith moved to Advanced (lucky Mark).  Sorry Keith, but I think a
skins style round robin at NATS would really make for a great event if we
could get the sponsorship money lined up.  Maybe instead of unknowns we
threw in a combat class??/ you know how TV execs love a little drama.



      Nuff for now, back to hanger flying.. my last round of visualizing the
maneuvers I scored 10’s each maneuver. (yes Jim Sheffield, even the 2
 ½
rolls opposite)



      LATER!!!
