[NSRCA-discussion] Ocala contest

[Emory Schroeter]

Hy Ron,

After I posted that, I remembered that I neede to check RCU. So, I got to see some of the pics and results. Anyway, I'm sorry I missed that. The Ocala contest has always been a fun one. 

So when is the Lakeland contest??

Emory.

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 over 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.
