[NSRCA-discussion] Ocala contest

[Jon Lowe]

Credit where credit is due:  Mike Hester barely won over Steve Homenda 
in Masters.  I was a distant 3rd, after zeroing my spin 3 times!  Been 
doing them all week in pratice without a problem.

There were lots of new pilots and airplanes.  A slew of Osmoses and 
Integrals turned up, as well as Black Magics.

Full results and lots of pictures are on RCU.

Geez!  The excuses some guys use.  John Fuqua was told by his wife that 
he was attending the wedding of a distant relative in Little Rock, so 
he wasn't there.  The Ocala Model Flying Model Club usually has small, 
different color towels made up with a emblem on them that includes 
Kingdom of the Sun Annual Contest and the contest date.  We were 
invited to take one, so I selected a pretty pink one for John. 
 

It was VERY windy.  On one flight, my airplane blew back over my head 
and, before I could get control, I started feeling dizzy from looking 
back and up so long.  I stumbled a couple of times, but finally managed 
to save the airplane. 
 

There were 24 contestants.  Jason won F3A over Chad Northeast and Ivan 
Kristensen.  Mike Hester barely won ov
er Jon Lowe.  Gary Courtney won 
Advanced; I think Chris Odom was second.  My memory is blank on the 
rest. 
 

Ernie Meredith and Chris Hamel did their usual great job running the 
contest. 
 

I believe Jason took a bazillion pictures.
