All:

Yes, Kathy, Bryan and Emory did a great job!  The field is wonderful, and having a great hobby shop right there sure is nice!

The flying was good, and everyone had a great time....

Mike, I DID finally take one round (Rd 4) from Jim, though!

It was great being there, especially after going through Hurricane Ivan.....

  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

    About 29 contestants I think, not too shabby considering the last minute move from Pensacola.

    FAI-
    1st Jim Woodward
    2nd Tony Stillman

    Masters
    1st John Fuqua
    2nd Emory Schroeter

    Advanced
    1st AC Glenn
    2nd Cameron Smith
    3rd John LeSour(or close to it, my apologies)
    4th Mike Hester
    5th Ken Blackwell
    6th Luis Oduber

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

    Sportsman
    1st Erik Newsolme (sp?)
    2nd Bruce Thoman

    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?
