it's unfair to ask George about this. There is no need to define a "team" or
what the "team" would be flying against. There were 8 finalists (even though one
was a Canadian) that flew well enough to be in the finals, and I would just like
to see how we did in the P-07. Remember, the Team at the Worlds is determined by
P-07, and hypothetically looking at P-07 we would see who did the best (in
George's eye) in P-07. Again, please remember, this is all for FUN and nothing
more.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

me, at the Nats<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT size=2>
<P>OK Guys, here goes............................</P>
<P>2006 Nats is history and being there was, as always, a priviledge that
I will probably not be able to enjoy for too many more years, but the
experience creates an indelible memory event that burns in your psyche for
an indefinite period of time.</P>
<P>The really special part of the experience is the people. I think that
this is my 5th year and renewing aquaintances previously made and meeting
new people is fabulous. I arrived Sat nite and got my tent set up in it's
usual place and realized that it was still light out as this is the first
year that Indiana has gone on Daylight Savings time so it was light out
'til almost quarter to ten. There was more than one nite that Sean
McMurtry was actually flying at 9:30 P.M.</P>
<P>Sunday morning saw me out on the flight line early and Troy was putting
up some practice flights and we spent a few minutes discussing/sharing
flight elements and execution anomalies and corrective inputs. Received so
many familiar hellos from the likes of Earl, Robert G., Harry Ells, the
Canadians, the D1 guys, and so many that they are too numerous to mention.
Also spent quite a few minutes talking with Sean who is a real friendly
individual and a real gentleman, who informed me that he was competing
with Naruke's actual airplane. That thing was gorgeous and the detail of
the craftsmanship was astounding.The pipe mount was to die for!
Instantaneously removable and absolutely foolproof ! What a work of
art.</P>
<P>Up to now I had been at site 1 so I decided to go over to site 3 and
see what was going on over there. As I was driving over, I thought to
myself, "it's only 9:30 and if this was over right now, I have already had
the greatest time, and the contest hasn't even started yet. At site 3 it
was almost a repeat of greetings and after a settling down period I
started to watch some practice flights. Jim Woodward showed that his
efforts over the last year were not wasted as his flying was top notch.Jim
decided that his electric was not giving him the best opportunity for the
scores he felt he was capable of so after a couple of days with the
electric he made the switch to glow and felt that he did indeed improve
his standings.</P>
<P>At one point, I was sitting out under the judges sunshade during a
practice session observing the flyers executing their sequences and who
pulls up a chair and begins to chat , but Jason. Now I have to tell you
that Jason really didn't know me from Adam and yet he was the most affable
friendly guy you could ever hope to meet. I teased the daylights out of
him about getting a haircut and tried a whole bunch of stuff to rattle his
cage and he would just come back with a quick quip and put you totally at
ease. What a wonderful kid !!!!!!!!!! I love'im (and no, that didn't
influence my scores)</P>
<P>All the old stand-bys were there to keep everything running smoothly.
Bobby Stout, John and Bill, Jerry P., line chiefs that I didn't know, but
everybody did a teriffic job of making it a well run event.</P>
<P>I met some neat new guys on site 4. There was a fellow flying a Nat
Penton Voodoo Express ( I think his name was Lewis). Another kid flying an
Adrenaline named Paul Futey. It was great to see again Carl Zavalney, and
Keith Black and it's impossible to remember everybody, but like I said,
you really feel that this is a special experience.</P>
<P>Monday morning I got into my trusty chair behind the flight line and
did some P07 scoring to try to sharpen up my judging skills in preparation
for the real serious stuff. I Scored the guys that I thought would be in
the thick of it at the end on site one, first round. One individual that
impressed me was Chad Northeast.Chad was flying an airplane called a
Twister that I think is a Synergy derivitive powered by a Plettenberg
electric and it was balletic. The plane flew, what appeared to me, to fly
slower than anybody else's electric and Chad was quite precise in his
execution. I let him know that I thought he was doing well after his
flight. I discovered later when I checked my numbers that his scores were
a little lower than most of the top guys, but there's something about his
presentation that keeps you rivetted. His is indeed a very pleasant
presentation. After that round I went to site 3 and scored a few guys over
there, knowing that at this juncture in time, all that I was doing was
getting a feel for consistancy.</P>
<P>The first 3 days were spent trying to get my head to interpret what my
eyes were seeing, but on the 4th day things really got heated up ( of
course Muncie was it's usual high temp environment as well). I feel that
being away from the competition environment for a year and being a year
older that I'm starting to lose a little of my sharpness and judging
ability as I was concious at times that I was occasionally missing a few
things, but I think the overall relativity of the scores that I arrived at
are still consistant within that envelope.</P>
<P>I found out that my position, 50 feet behind the judges does not afford
me a view of the box constraints and although I scored Troy quite highly,
I was advised later that he had quite a few box violations because he flew
in too close which knocked him out of the finals.Needless to say, I was
saddened to learn of this as he takes the sport very seriously and I like
to see him do well. He had a really nice airplane and flew it with the
skill of the top eschelon pilots. </P>
<P>Since returning home I have been quite busy so haven't had time to get
to my scoring etchings till now. Seeing as Vicente was kind enough to send
us Northerners a good dose of Kansas weather (it's 100 degrees here today)
I have been quarantined to the indoors with a little extra time so I
thought I would pull out my score sheets and run the numbers in order to
see how I stacked up against the official results.</P>
<P></P>
<P>This number thing is a real revelation. It seems to indicate trends and
weaknesses and consistancy of each individual. Sometimes as you begin to
tabulate the results it can get pretty scary when there are only 5 points
separating the first 4 guys you've totalled. I felt, before I left for the
Nats this year, that it was probably going to be a tight race, with Sean
and Jason in attendance and was looking forward to the outcome with great
anticipation.</P>
<P>Last year I felt that Chip flew poorly and I was surprised to hear that
he had done well at the Worlds. Well I have to tell you that this year he
vindicated himself on my scorecard.He seems to have the ability to do
better when the pressure is greatest and really comes through.</P>
<P>The day of the finals was a nightmare !!!!!!!!!!! The day started out
overcast, but not excessively windy, so the first round of F07 presented
no more problems than anticipated and everyone flew O.K.</P>
<P>Next came the first unknown and you begin to see in the scores areas of
weaknesses and strengths in the different individuals. Some individuals
displayed tremendous consistancy no matter what was thrown at them with
their scores staying within close proximities (Chad, Chip, Jay, QQ). It's
probably unfair to some individuals to rate them in exactly this way due
to rthe extreme weather that blew in for the last couple of rounds.This
contest may have had a totally different outcome without the extremes of
weather that these poor souls had to tolerate. In the final round, Dave L
and Don were required to fly in winds that were just under the threshold
(40mph) and it hadn't let up very much when Chip flew last and almost won
the round on my scorecard.</P>
<P>Please remember, these are only MY reflections, and there is no way to
verify my qualifications for my conclusions or even indicate that I know
what I'm talking about, however, what is certainly true is that these
eight individuals flew very difficult sequences in a manner that was
exemplary and with extremely closely matched performances. This was tight
flying my friends !!!!!!!!</P>
<P>Here's what I have:</P>
<P></P>
<P>Andrew, F-07-1 = 1000, F-07-2 = 1000, Unk -1 = 937, Unk-2 = 942 Total =
3879</P>
<P>Chad, F-07-1 = 895, F-07-2 = 894, Unk - 1 = 895, Unk-2 = 911 Total =
3595</P>
<P>Chip, F-07-1 = 964, F-07-2 = 971, Unk - 1 = 989, Unk -2 = 997 Total =
3921<BR></P>
<P>Dave L F-07-1 = 905, F-07-2 = 946, Unk - 1 = 959, Unk -2 = 903 Total =
3713</P>
<P>Don F-07-1 = 965, F-07-2 = 954, Unk - 1 =1000, Unk -2 = 923 Total =
3842</P>
<P>Jay F-07-1 = 998, F-07-2 = 961, Unk - 1 = 989, Unk -2 = 1000 Total =
3948</P>
<P>Sean F-07-1 = 960, F-07-2 = 984, Unk - 1 = 978, Unk - 2 = 879 Total =
3801</P>
<P>QQ F-07-1 = 959, F-07-2 = 958, Unk - 1 = 987, Unk - 2 = 942 Total =
3846</P>
<P>My numbers indicate an order of finish as follows: 1st = Jay, 2nd =
Chip, 3rd = Andrew, 4th = QQ, 5th = Don, 6th = Sean, 7th = Dave L., 8th =
Chad .</P>
<P>I had no idea what these numbers were going to show until today and am
as surprised as anybody. I think Chad's one point consistancy over the
first three rounds astounding. Chip worked at keeping his scores up every
round to win a well deserved second. Andrew, make yourself up an unknown
sequence every week and work on unfamiliar stuff. It's obvious you nail
everything you get to practice (you surprised me). Don was unfairly
sentenced in the final round. Just wait 'til next year.</P>
<P>Great work you guys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!</P>
