Centenniel Park, Toronto, Ontario, Saturday, September 27th.

Despite drizzing rain and cool temperatures, 10 flyers competed in what could be the last & final F2D contest in the current era.  Unless saved by some sort of devine intervention, the event is condemed to the fate of Fast & Slow, the dreaded flyaway shutoff. 

This contest was run under full two-plane double-elimination.  It took 19 bouts to arrive at a conclusion, and ironically, not one single model escaped from the circle.

Pat MacKenzie 6-1
Ivan MacKenzie 5-2
Lou Scavone, Brad LaPointe, and Dimitre Valkanov 2-2
(It was getting a bit late to fly off 3rd place, and Dimitre had hit road, Lou got the CanAm, so Brad gets to plaque).
Dave Lovgren and Paul Smith 1-2
Walter Dordolo and Vadim Polack 0-2.

Not many pictures, we were keeping our cameras dry.  Everybody's seen a Viko wid a Fora.  As mentioned in another post, Lou Scavone clinched the CanAm Championship for 2008, by winning the most in seven of these contests.

Lets keep our fingers crossed for a reprieve of a shutoff we can buy and retrofit.

Are there airframes to be bought "in-country" of will we need to bring our own to NZ?

Maybe they could also hold the first "new ruler" on Jan 1, 2009.
