[NSRCA-discussion] 2008 Season wrap-up

[Matthew Frederick]

Let's see... My year in review goes something like this: After about 10 flights on my genesis in March, I lost radio contact 1 minute into flight 11, Genesis committed Genecide. Worked my butt off most of the season trying to get my Quest going, but it didn't look like it was going to happen this year, so with 2 contests left in the season I purchased a Patriot 3D. Made it to the final two contests, the first of which was attended with only one flight on the Patriot. Oh, throw in a major hurricane, two weeks without power, and having to rebuild the canopy at our field. This will definitely be a year to forget.

Total flights:
Genesis - 11.1
Patriot 3D- 25
Quest - Not yet, but the year ain't over

Prognosis for next year: Not great, I think I'll be moving up to Advanced.

Matt

  Since the list is slow.

   

  I'm guessing I flew my last flight for 2008 today; it's just getting too cold here in New England!  So barring a warm spell, I ended with 404 flights since April 17th.  Contests were a little light with three district meets and the Nat's.  Electrics worked very well for me with battery cost currently at $2.91 per flight.

  (I know, I know.it's sick I count flights.  But that's my aviation upbringing and computer nerd side!)

   

  How many flights/contests did you do this year?
