I fly at muncie 18 mph wind means nothing, anyway I am here

[Wayne J. Buran]

Well, John and his Wife made it to Akron only to be welcomed by high winds. John being a good trooper put in official flights in Profile .15, Class 2 and Nostalgia Profile I think. I'll get the scores posted. Us locals didn't fly. We still had a great time with the Vlna's. Thanks to the Vlna's for attending.

The Vlna's are a great couple.   It was great to see them at Brodaks.   And John knows what a little wind is.  I remember guys just trying to keep the planes in the air at past NATS.   Don't know how wind you had but try flying at a Wichita KS contest sometime.

John Vlna was awarded the following scores at the Akron Ohio carrier meet. These were all flown in high winds.

 Nostalgia Profile 421.57    XPC-1, H Mottin design with ST35 R/C flat top
