Wait a minute, I thought you crashed on the third inside round?  Wherever it was in the pattern, that was the hardest hit I have ever seen.  Parts of the engine went about 300 feet from the point of impact.  Weather channel reported gusts to 35 mph at Gainsville that day, it must have been about the same in Starke.

I think myself and William Davis (who won) were the only ones to complete some semblance of the whole pattern that day.  I remember Derek roaring with laughter as his ARF P-40 plunged toward the ground, shedding pieces as it went.  It was the perfect storm of abundant ARFs and horrendous wind to pile up the mangled airplanes!

I think the key for them obtaining a lot of orders from modelers is  they price their services in the least expensive area.  Right now, the price of lazer cutting is all over the place, some are plain ridiculous.......

" Hey Lenny. How does it do that?"
" He's Joe Gilbert. That's how it does that."

Nuff said.  :-)

I love my T-28. If it crashes, just use some foam safe CA and its ready to go. Repairs are easy.

I recommend the park zone T-28. Very easy to fly, very forgiving. Makes for a great trainer and you can do some basic aerobatics with it. If you are feeling up to it, rolling circles is a breeze with that airplane. It's my favorite maneuver to do with the airplane.

The plane I flew was seven years old. I wanted to fly my new one but I didn't want to chance the gear on that grass just before the NATS.

YES! 
  Thank you De and Elwyn!
  Now that the party is over your
reports are more important than ever!
Yours is the only real record of this
amazing event.
  It's always a pleasure to meet
you guys.
  OK..  I confess. I only ever wear
my CL tee shirts at Brodak's and I'm
careful which shirt I wear on each day.
Ya never know when Elwyn is gonna
snap you!

I flew in the rough air so it was not that it was a temperature and fuel shortage. My 75 burns 8 oz in a flight and that the size tank I have. When its cold or cool it need s 1/2 oz more or it will run out on 4 leaf. I had no 5% only 10. No excuses only regret.
