Check your NATs Confirmation letter...

[Brett Buck]

I wouild suggest every check their NATs Confirmation letter. I got put into Expert (326) instead of Open (322), and it seems I am not the only one with this problem.

Sandbagger.

[Eric Viglione]

I know you took a couple years off for work priorities Brett, what, with saving our collective bacon from the forces of evil and all, but I have to echo Howards sentiments.  Hah!

Mine is correct, 322, thanks for the heads up though.

I guess this means you are cautiously optimistic about making it this year, assuming work doesn't decide they can't keep'em space-born without you at the last minute?

Pretty cheeky move Brett.

[PJ Rowland]

I wondered when the Nats smack talk was going to start.

So here we are.....

Its a shame they are restricting the Open Electric entries to 8 only due to unfair advantage Clause.

  I mentioned to Colleen at AMA that if I didn't fix it, there was likely to be a crowd with pitchforks and burning torches.

Yeah, but we all know that group is just looking for the combat circles.

Its a shame they are restricting the Open Electric entries to 8 only due to unfair advantage Clause.

The new rule uses OTS handicap methodology. If it's a non-piped IC like ST46, add 20 points bonus. Electrics get an automatic 10 point deduction for every flight.

I suggest re-reading the latest rules on appearance judging too. Starting this year, appearance judging will include pilot's appearance. 10 points goes towards model appearance and 10 for pilot appearance. This years' pilot appearance will be judged by Tim Gunn of "Project Runway".

Thats just fine, you go ahead and stay right over there in the 326 event.

Works for me!  I think you should go for it!!   

[Derek Barry]

I know its not funny but...

[Steve Fitton]

Is Brett the only one moved by Executive Fiat to 326?  This smacks of conspiracy, if not one by Randy then surely one by Obama.

[Derek Barry]

I got mine the other day, looks like I will be flying in Open.

Are you sure you don't want to give Brett a run for his money in Expert?

While competing against Brett is always a challenge, I think I will go for the big trophy this year.

  Hey, guys, I have this all sorted out, so don't worry. It's correctly logged at Event 325, based on the evaluation of my recent practice flying.

Sandbagging will get you nowhere Brett.

Brett, is your new Dawg flying now?

Derek

How about I just leave that big trophy here so I won't have to have it shipped back here!

[Brett Buck]

Brett, is your new Dawg flying now?

   No, nor will it be on July 13th. It's assembled, about ready for primer. But I got hit by too many diversions, like scratching out a meager living, holding out signs like "will plot a root locus for food" and such.

  You can just mail it to my house, and save the shipping back and forth.

Meager....Signs.....oh you poor boy. Did you hold a cup out for change also? How are you going to manage getting to Muncie?

    Larry Scarinzi used to put a shoe box on the fender of his Cadillac asking for donations, didn't he? I could be counted on for a few bucks, no pun intended!  I think he had it set up at VSC one year, pretty funny!
  Type at you later,

   PS to add: Wait a minute, that probably could work, a "Bucks for Buck" campaign! Notify KickStarter!

The Walker Cup has spent far too much time on the west coast. I will save you both the shipping cost and haul it to Georgia myself.
