This years turn out was down a little from last year. To bad for the guy's that didn't show up as the weather was perfect for Carrier, 3 to 5mph wind, mid 80s temperatures, a couple shade trees, the nicest low grass that I've seen in a while, and fun for all that showed up. The first picture gives you an idea of how nice the weather and facilities were. The two guys (Ted Kraver and Bob Frogner) standing out front are in the line measuring and pull test area, last stop before the deck.
     The next picture is Pet Mazur's carrier planes, front is e-profile Brodak Guardian, Sig e-Skyray 35 (first place), CL-2 e-Corsair (first place), CL-1 Bearcat (new and untested).
     3rd and 4th pictures, Ted Gritzmacher has returned to carrier and flew quite well with his planes (nostalgia CL-1 Wildcat, profile sportsman, and profile nostalgia. He will be scoring much higher once he gets his landings perfected. Also in 4th picture (top of Frame) is Bob Frogner's e-15 Sniper. Bob's articles posted here and in the "Hi-Low Landings" news letter are what got me started in e-carrier.
     5th picture is a photo of the score sheet that didn't turn out very good but here it is anyway.
     

     The first 2-pictures are of the 3-planes that I took to the contest. My trouble free Corsair seems to have caught the same bug that my CL-1&2 have had this year so I didn't get a flight in with it. The e-109T only flys so, so, but did its best for the year at this contest. Its around 15mph slower than my ic-profiles and only a little off in slow speed do to weight. The other plane is my e-15 plane which is doing everything I thought it would do and then soom.
     The 3rd picture is Pete's latest e-CL-1 plane. It is a ARF F8F and I don't know who makes the plane but it is beautifully put together. Looks plenty strong (heavy) and not enough wing area to be competitive but as Pete says it makes a great test bed while he is looking for just the right combination for e-competition. A very pretty plane.

Eric,

Nice pictures! I'm glad someone had the smarts to take some photos. It was such a nice couple of days for carrier flying. Not a huge turn out but some very good competitors (and one that couldn't manage to land his plane! ME). When you look at who flew its was some of the best there is. Eric, Bert, Pete, the cream of the crop.

Your e15 looks and flies so well. You really have the right idea, build a great looking and flying airplane and practice, practice, practice. We could all learn from that!!!!

Pete,
Too bad we couldn't get the lines coated sufficiently to try out the Bearcat. That would have been very interesting. Don't be too quiet about it when it does fly, others would like to hear and learn from your experiments!!!!
