<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I second Mike. I was glad to see an increase of pilots in the lower classes. I just want to add that Phantom Flyers RC Club has been doing the pattern contest for 52 years. I think this could be a record. </FONT><BR><BR>Vicente "Vince" Bortone<BR><BR>----- Original Message -----<BR>From: "mike mueller" <mups1953@yahoo.com><BR>To: nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org<BR>Sent: Monday, August 31, 2009 8:38:29 AM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central<BR>Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] St Louis contest thanks<BR><BR> Thanks to Bill Ahrens, Ed White and the Phantom Flyers RC club for having us this weekend.<BR> We had 24 flyers and I think it's safe to say it was a blast.<BR> The weather was cold for St Louis and most of us had jackets and long pants on all day yesterday. Usually we are sweltering in the heat at this contest. <BR> We had 12 flyers in Masters and this posed a
challenge but we got thru all the rounds albiet we had to fly till darkness shut us down on Saturday.<BR> I'm encouraged by the decent attendances that we have seen at the contests this year. I really expected the poor economy would have hit us hard but there doesn't seem to be much of an effect.
