Thanks guys!
I had really wanted to fly intermediate with Ryan but I still have to learn five more maneuvers. Ryan and I had a blast. We had a long drive home and made plans to attend next year. Ryan just got burning a DVD of most of the fun. I say most because we just did not want to view the whole week thru a view finder. Keep an eye out for us to put up a you tube video.

Wish you guys were there.

GMan I was looking for that big RM.

Paul
The highlight of my week was being a member of Team Root Beard, and helping build  the Junk Wars model.

It was built to the famous TLAR "That Looks About Right" design rules.

Maybe the best looking one, but definitely not the best flying.  For next year you need to have a picture of the Wrecking Crew's junker.  Still wondering when Brodak is going to kit that.  Boy did it fly good.  Oh, and watch out next year Paul, I think I was recruited by Neal Beekman for his team for Junkyard wars next year, the butteralls?

Hey Matt,
If you fly the junk like you did your Smoothie, Dan and Joe had better watch out. I got a lot of your flight on video.

Watching you fly helped me.

See ya next year.... Good Lord willing and I get a kitchen pass.
