[NSRCA-discussion] Knoxville Pattern meet results

[Scott Anderson]

Well another Ben Oliver Memorial Pattern Classic is in the books with Friday night starting the weekend with the mini e-pattern meet. Cameron Smith, Bryan Kennedy and Marcio Jorge flew the Expert pattern and those little planes did very well. Bryan was into his backup plane after Cameron was doing a test flight and the motor came out, Hmmm maybe a way to eliminate the competition...<vbg> During the meet food platters and refreshments where out for all to enjoy. 



The results are as follows,

1 Cameron  

2 Marcio,  

3 Bryan



all three pilots receive Tanic 3s 2080 mah packs.

 

Saturday morning started out with a bit of fog, the 18 pilots gathered for a quick pilots meeting, and then it was off to fly.  Saturday was going well, and in the 4th round, Dennis Hunt was starting his motor and then there was a yell for help from one of the KCRC club member. Dennis had a bad laceration to the right arm, Lamar Blair was close by and put direst pressure in place and I went from CD mode into my work mode (emergency medicine - Paramedic) bleeding was controlled. Myself and another club member transported Dennis to the local hospital a quick phone call on the way, he had an ER room waiting for us upon arrival.The contest finished up with four rounds flown, and Sportsman had five rounds done. Saturday night a group of the D3 pilots went to dinner, drinks and the peanut fights at the local Texas Road House. 

Sunday many of the guys put in several flights prior to starting to fly the contest.  Dennis Hunt showed up to watch mid morning and was doing better. 

While the result where being tallied there was a drawing for some cool products and even a plane from Great Planes, all went home with something.
