Michigan State Meet -Rouge Park - Detroit
« on: August 08, 2017, 08:21:09 PM »
The usual Michigan State Meet events.

All combat events both days.
All carrier events on Sunday.

The usual agenda is Speed Limit on Saturday & F2D on Sunday.  In addition we fly anything with two entries, which generally mean Fast, Slow, 1/2A and FAI Kill.

On Sunday the deck sails in & we fly all the carrier events that anybody wants.

Yeah.  Ronnie has been trying to win The Triple Crown for some time:  AMA Nats, Bladder Grabber and Michigan State Meet in the same year.
He's won the first two four times in a row, and got beat at The State Meet four times in a row.
We all want him to win it.  We just don't want him to win it easy.

I won it in 1977 and in 2017.  Forty years apart.

Two things happens over on The Bruce Peninsula.  I bought some nice new magnetic shutoffs from Yaro and Maxim let me fly his combat plane.  Maxim said I should get back in combat.  So I put the shutoffs on some old Fasts and got back in as he suggested.  It was fun.

I broke my only good plane, but I still have young Nelson and Fox Mark VI in the box.  I need to check the market for some Ukrainian Fasts.

Ronnie was The House.  It doesn't look good when The House wins too much.  He got 2nds in Fast, Slow and Speed Limit, 3rd in 1/2A and 4th in F2.  Decent, but not greedy.
