The NVCL holds a Musciano Event. They are near DC, but I do not recall the dates.

Thanks for the info.

Hi Dave,
Unfortunately, our PAMPA District is not very active it seems, outside of the MCLS, The Norfolk area club, and the NVCL. At least I do not hear any news from anyone outside of the MCLS.. There is a stunt contest in Memphis and one in Marietta, but both are in District 5.
The MCLS holds two large C/L contests per year, in Huntersville, near Charlotte, and could possibly hold a Musicano Contest. They are very diverse. We are in Dist.4 which extends down the coastline from Delaware to North Carolina. South Carolina begins District 5 and Tenn, is also in 5. Kinda strange about Tenn. since it borders us, and is Northwest of District 5. But I didn't make up the Districts! LOL!!!!

Thanks. I'm hoping to compete at the next Huntersville contest. I thought that if there was also a Musciano contest somewhere in the area, I might be able to bring some kids from the orphanage.

There are already three venues to chose from, Virgina, Michigan, and California.
Considering the effort needed to set one up, it's a lot easier to make a road trip than create a new one.
ps: They pack small and the host provides the fuel.

Yes, Paul, I posted the Virginia contest for David. The contest is somewhere near Washington, DC, and is a weekend trip for us in NC. We have enough weekend trips! The MCLS already does several special events, and adding a Musciano contest would not be a major undertaking, just getting it together would be the tough part.

Bill, I can not begin to tell you how much fun we all had this weekend, at the So. Cal. Musciano Contest. There was no real pressure on anyone ..... it was like the old days when we were all kids. We flew when we wanted, the way we wanted and spent as much time swapping stories and laughing as we did flying. Larry flew his "American Boy" at 54 mph with a Space Bug engine, and he did loops, 8's, and inverted. A tri-plane lost a battle with the wind and there were a coulpe of electrics that worked very well.

Quote by Larry Rice:
"there were a coulpe of electrics that worked very well."
So you mean to tell me there were electric (hollow) logs there? Sweet!
I hope there will be some pictures posted somewhere soon.
Glad there was so much fun. That is what it is all about!

There was a person who appeared to be a professonal photographer taking all kinds of pictures. I would be great if we could get some to post. I will second what Larry Rice and Larry Renger said it was really fun. It really did bring back memories of when we were kids. I have not laughed that hard in years.

The two electrics I saw were not Musciano models, and certainly not Scientific Logs. One was a Naccarato original, the other a Gee Bee (R/C) ARF purchased at the AMA Convention.
-
Sorry Larry, but Tony Naccarato's plane was a Walt Musciano designed "Stunt Trainer" that is kitted by Black Hawk Models. You are right that it was not a log type model but Walt designed many models that were not log types. This one was kittted by Scientific too.

Sorry I put out bum information. I try not to do that. :-[

Here are the winners of the SoCal Musciano Contest which included 1/1A Multi engine Profile Scale, Perky and electric models. Thanks to Tony Naccarato for CD'ing, Black Hawk Models, Smith Brothers Hobby Shop, Black Sheep Squadron and Tim Holly for the photo. Next year's contest will be bigger and better. Make plans now!

I had the pleasure to be at this contest , flew a Zig Zag twice with a Golden Bee [ crashed once ] and a twin .049 B-25 . As Larry said it was very laid back and a time machine back to your youth . Can't wait for next year !
