Igor Burger,
Is Richard Kornmeier still flying ST 60 powered Max?

I was about to ask the same question, Milton.

Regards,
Claudio.

Yes, Richard has ST60 MAX. He has my electric power train already home, but decided to fly ST60 because he hase more experience with wet power train.

No matter the results, the whole USA Control Line Team needs an atta boy for the dedication and efforts.

If I am not mistaken, you placed 2nd at the Worlds with your electric Max, and now Richard has placed 1st at the Worlds with your ST 60 Max. It looks to me like you are Maxed Out!! Sorry, I just couldn't resist that one-congratulations.

Thanx, there were 3 Maxes in finals, Richie (ST60), me (electric) and also Alexander Schrek (piped + "semiscale" fuselage). And yes, for me it is the best model - that is why I use it  

I had bad luck in finals, I had wind in 2 rounds, what is not problem it is advantage (it placed first after first round), but unfortunately I had bad second round in strong side wind while half of the round was in calm, so I lost lot of points to for example Vejmola, Han Ximping and Orestes and I was not able do make it in last round which was also flown in calm and where I was second in the morning. ... so may be next time in Primors Bulgaria  :-) .. it is just hobby, we should have fun, not stress :-) ... 6th place is not bad anyway

Does anyone have a pic of the winner and his plane?

Those are some great pics.

I really liked your writings and pics of the drive home from Muncie.  Very entertaining.  Thanks for all your hard work at this years nats.

I can't beleive I just sat here and watched the slide show again.  Seeing the hi tech hardware that was being used to set up barriers.  The looks on the faces of the competitors during their time in the lime light.  And most of all seeing the picture of Grandpa Bill hugging young Ryan.  I wonder too what Teddy was telling young Ryan in one of the pics.  Seeing Doc in speed pylon is another pic I liked. Congradulations again to all Team USA even if you didn't make the podium, you at least tried.  Also how do we thank all the people that kept posting pictures for those of us that couldn't be there.
