[NSRCA-discussion] A really big thank you to everyone who made the Weak Signals Precision Aerobtics contest a success

[Michael Cohen]

Yes, great contest!  In between all the eating, we did get some flying in.  It was good to get out there and see everyone again.  This was the first contest I could get to, and I am looking forward to the next few as well.  I could have done without the mid-air though.  Brio #1 is a goner, but the radio system, except for the battery, seems OK as does the engine.  I will check the engine thoroughly, mount everything in the backup Eclipse and put everything through its paces.  Brio #2 did look lonely on the table though.  Hmmm....time to tell my wife how much I really love her.  She always knows what that means......

Indeed a super contest and I think a great intro to highly competitive pattern in the US for Ethan and I. We'll definately bookmark this one.
 
Mark, the pleasure was all ours...and we are particularly appreciative of the warm welcome from Tim Jesky and his entire family, Bob Kane and helpers, the other competitors and the very colourful Chicago group.
 
Of course Andrew's flying was the icing on the cake!!
 
Hope to hook again...
Best Regards
Colin.

I second (or as I see the email streaming in, 3rd and 4th) all the thank you's to the weak signals club for this contest. Amazing facility, and of course a great event. 

SERIOUS tail wind on the way back to cleveland.  I'm guessing the Chicago crowd driving straight into it got slightly poorer mileage than I did.

Thanks again, and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at the D4 champs in Cinci!

Oh, and a pleasure to meet Colin Chariandy and his son Ethan from Canada who made the trip for their first US contest.  Hope to see you both again!

I just returned home from the Weak Signals Club contest. Talk about contest conditions. Steady rain Saturday until 3:30PM, but fortunately once the rain did stop the wind blew about 25mph straight across the runway to dry everything off. Today there was no rain, but stiff winds all day long and temperatures in the low 90's for the first time this season in Michigan made for some challenging conditions.

We did manage to get 2 rounds in Saturday afternoon and two more rounds today. Results:

Sportsman:

Bruce Herider (No flights)
Tim Jesky (No flights)

Intermediate:

Ron Hansen
Jim Gruntkowski
Mike Gaishin
Gary Stephens
Loren Noyes
David Cook

Advanced:

Bill Pritchett
Bob Condra
Ken Alexander
Anthony Abdullah
Mike Darr
Mike Murphy
Ethan Chariandy
Charles Williams (no flights)

Masters:

Verne Koester
Brenner Sharp
Bobby Satallino
Chris Moon
Mike Cohen
Mickey Losardo
Bob Kane

David Snow
Mark Atwood
Colin Chariandy

Thank you very much for those contestants who came out and braved the weather.  Thanks also to my co-CD Tim Jesky, his lovely wife Linda (for the food, scoring, and Friday hospitality), Heather Kaluf, Cindy Darr, Monique Losardo, Margetta Abdullah and anyone else I might have missed who helped out with the food and scoring.

Hope to see you again next year.
