2009 Mass Cup day 1

[steven yampolsky]

First day of Mass Cup '09 is complete. We flew OTS and Classic. I've been pulling judging duty and did not have the time to take too many pictures. So here's what I've got:

1) Rick Campbell's Saturn. Power is PA61 on a pipe. This plane presents extremely well in flight and Rick flies it very well!


2) Don Herdman's new Classic legal P-47. Powered by LA46, it flies really well.


3) Don Herdman with his own Classic design P-47.


4) Three stooges: Don Herdman, Rick "50 cent" Campbel and Dick Woolsey

Hey Steve, you didn't mention I beat out grandpa for the first time on Saturday    On Sunday, don't get me started about the grass

Isn't that a P-47?

Hey Steve, you didn't mention I beat out grandpa for the first time on Saturday   

Was that a first!? Wow, congrats!  
I wouldn't rest on your laurels though. Don is a good pilot. He will make your work for your wins! Better get that Oriental Plus finished up for the next season! You will need every advantage you can get!

I spent too much time in the sun over the past two days. My brain is medium well done  . Yes, it's a P-47. Corrections made.

I know he's a good pilot, but he got back at me by beating me in OTS by a slight margin of about 2 points.  And Steve congrats on your Mass Cup win!!! You looked about as surprised as me when I won it last year.

And Steve, you got any pictures from Day 2?

Nope. I was too busy looking like a deer in the headlights. I hope you guys took pictures.

We did, and need to go to grandpa's house to post them, which I think I'm heading over today.
