I almost forgot to add my Congratulations!

Thanks gentleman for the encouragement. Next year goal is top 20 in open. I want to fly Friday. Open AKA bowl of angry hungry sharks.

Every time I fly this bird I fall in love with it over and over again. Yesterday it was a very nice day outside so I went out to put in some flights. Only if I could fly to it's potential that would be great indeed.
So it started with the insides a little loose on the lines so I tweaked the flaps and after that it was all fun. I am glad that i have made a video of the flights because I can see some bugs in my flying which will give me something to do in the next sessions. I need some work on the wing over in particular the second pass and the vertical eight, the rest looked pretty decent.

So I am back from the worlds competition n Poland. Revolutions has received great reviews from just about everyone there. Some have even flown the model after the competition was over, I might add with a big smile on their faces. The common denominator comment was "amazing". First they took notice of the carbon outer skin, then they look at the take apart features, after that when I showed them the control system their jaws dropped. Lastly i took a wing and the nose from the spare model and fitted it to the main model and demonstrated interchangeable parts at which point their mind just blew up.   
I ended up mid pack with some very dubious low scores from some judges, and some of my scores were quite up there with the best of them.
But honestly I wasn't well prepared for this kind of level of competition. The model only had maybe 30 flight on it when I started to compete with it and I was constantly getting used to new setups as I was remedying thing I didn't like about it (mainly uneven turn which was a handle adjustment issue). This is an issue that I am still working on.
