Unbelievably quiet on the list

[Mike Hester]

Oops wow I'm tired, I hit send before I was ready. I'm seeing 2 of everything right now.....

Emory and Bryan and Cathy did a fantastic job, as usual. All you d3 guys need to make the trip to the contest at Hodges field next June. The facility is second to none, and with one of the best hobby shops in the US 20 feet from the pits. 

Everyone had a great time, we had no ceiling both days until almost noon. With it getting dark around 7 here, that didn't leave much time for flying rounds. But we did the best we could and I had one of the best times I've had in a while. Donuts, pizza, fog, foamies, pattern and great folks. 

On another note, I was able to watch Jim wring out Ken Blackwell's new design, which I'll touch on later. He won all 4 rounds with it, and it really performed. With a Webra 160 and a Mejlik 18-10, that thing really pulled and grooved. More later when I can hold my head up.

Thanks all of yaz, it was fun! -M

  Intermediate
  1st Leland Giddens
  2nd Steve Homenda
  3rd Bryan Kennedy

  Sportsman

  Sorry that's all I remember. 

  Champions:
  FAI Tony Stillman
  Masters John Fuqua
  Advanced AC Glenn
  Intermediate Bryan Kennedy
  Sportsman can't remember...John Giddens maybe?

  The weather sucked until noon. Masters and Advanced only got a total of 3 rounds, everyone else got 4. The contest was run excellently and smoothly, all things considered. The scores were all close and bizarre in some cases, and a couple more rounds would have surely shuffled some things in almost every class.....but that's pattern =)

  I had a fantastic time, and I think most pilots enjoyed raising hell with the foamies during the fogged in hours as much as the contest itself. It was entertaining. I think only one left in one piece, but 4 times that many were bought and built.

    Anyone know how the NSRCA District 3 Championship turned out?
