[NSRCA-discussion] Weak Signals Day 1

[Larry Diamond]

Great Contest...
 
It was great to make a contest again and see familiar faces... albeit I broke the LG on a rough deadstick landing on a windy day... I elected not to repair the LG despite many offers from many folks to assist. No doubt all the resources were available to make a repair. Mike also offered to let me fly one of his planes, but being out so long and the winds... I preferred to sit this out as a spectator and help a newbie Sportsman friend I brought with me.
 
Tony had a great time flying his Tower Kaos 40 and is starting to talk about gradually moving into a plane that could handle the wind much better (small pattern style). Tony and I practiced in heavy winds before the contest. However, I think this contest was the most wind he has ever dealt with. I think the pattern bug has bit him and slowly in the process of taking over... LOL
 
We had a great time at a well ran contest. Hats off to Bob and Tim...
 
Watching Andrew fly is simply amazing... Andrew would fly and the wind would calm, or so it appeared. You would not know the wind was blowing 15 to 20mph while he is flying.
 
Good Luck to Andrew and Team USA !!!!

Thanks Bob, Tim, Linda and the whole Weak Signals group for hosting another great event this weekend.
 I don't think anyone thought the weather would be good but it turned out great albiet a tad on the wind challenged side.
 We all had a blast.
 Also it was a treat to see Andrew back with us again. We let the boys out west share him but he never forgets where he's from.
 He and his new Proteus were spectacular. 
 I was impressed with how well everyone handled the difficult wind conditions. It seems like every year the flying improves.
 Winners were
 Sportsman: Greyson Prichett (9 years old)
 Intermediate: Mike Gaishin ( age not discussed)
 Advanced: Brandon Sobolewski (14 years old)
 Masters: Mr Contra Brenner Sharp ( not by much!)
 FAI: Andrew Jesky

The weather gods smiled on us today and in spite of a horrible forecast we managed to get a full four rounds in today.  The wind presented some challenges but all in all it was a great day.  Hopefully tomorrow will be a good day also.
