There will be dinner and entertainment at Mike Haverlys house sat after the contest, all attendees and their guests are invited.
-
What's the entertainment? I'm almost dreading another encounter with Coco the insane attack cat. y1 Steve
-
I will be on the west side this weekend, Not sure if I will make the contest or not. Can anyone tell me the intended sequence for flying the classes on sunday? Regarless, the Avenger will be in the pickup and if time permits I will be there.......
-
Mark,
Click the flyer at the top. It has the events and times. I should be there Saturday (though there is a question there), but will certainly be there Sunday.
-
Randy, it has events and the order, I was actually looking to see if they had TIMES, of course thats hard to predict. Does anyone know if they are going to cycle through the classes in order or mix them up?
as in, fly all of beginner, then all of inter, then advanced. It makes a difference.
since you will be there, maybe I will call you Randy,, make sure your cell is charged up ;)
-
Click the flyer at the top.
Actually, you should click the flyer in the second message. The first one is a draft with some errors.
We haven't discussed the order of the Sunday events. I reckon we ought to. As I remember, we typically do Beginner flight 1, Int. flight 1, Adv. flight 1, Exp. flight 1, Beginner flight 2, Int. flight 2, Adv. flight 2, Exp. flight 2. To assign times to these, you'd need to include some dead time as a pad to account for the most possible contestants you'd expect. It's probably better just to run them continuously with breaks when the judges want them.
-
Actually, most often we run at least Beginner (and maybe Intermediate) until they're done (2 rounds), depending on entry # in each of those events. This helps free up pit space and also allows Jr. Varsity and Varsity fliers to judge without any interruptions to go fly in the other circle. That would also help Mark with his time constraints. H^^ Steve
-
Thanks Steve, as to helping, the best thing if you want me there is to make sure no one goes to the pylon race in Shelton! LOL,,
I will see ya there, or not,, wont know till then.
though some events at home are conspiring to prevent either trip, my AC in the house died, it gets rather toasty without it, and the life companion, Linda, gets a touch cranky when its hot in the house. I have the new equipment, trying to get my boss to schedule the service guy to do the install, if that happens friday,, well who knows.
-
Hope to see you Mark.
-
Looks like good weather forecast. It would be good to see you again Mark. Maybe the new ride can help my scores. o2oP o2oP
-
I should be there Sunday. Saturday is looking a little wobbly right now, but we'll see.
-
Anybody intending to arrive Friday to practise? The field is available, but we'll need to set it up and babysit, ya know. If nobody wants to fly Friday, that's ok, too. ~> Steve
-
A few shots of the field....(just heard that our vetran Bob Welch will be there along with Joe Dill)
The weather forcast looks pretty darn good...BRING THE SUNSCREEN! LL~
-
Steve, I took friday off and I will be there all day . If anyone wants to fly come on down , or up . flying from 9am-7pm. I'll have the cones set up etc etc.
-
Fun first day. I took some pictures but I'm too tired to resize them tonight. Will post some tomorrow. I know Pete Peterson won Classic and I think the Dirt won profile. I spent the afternoon trying to trim my PA plane in the practice circle. Joy. The party at Mike Haverly's house was awesome.

Randy are you getting old on us. LL~ LL~ Well I can wait for the pics, so take care of yourself. H^^
