[NSRCA-discussion] St Louis contest

Wed Sep 1 06:14:39 AKDT 2010

Yeah, I went to the Chrysler Internats -48,49--first NATS in 51.Member USAF 
Model Team 3 years-53-55. Seems like it gets closer to then the older I get. 
I cannot perform the maneuvers, with all nuances RVP adds, near as well as 
he does. But I am working on catching up to him next year. They killed 
electrics in SPA this year so that set me back a a year in my comeback. Will 
have a couple planes ready by Xmas.
