Fun was had. Food was eaten. Flights were flown, and a few winners were decided. Cutoff loops were witnessed to happen on electric powered airplanes, both real and pseudo (the loops, not the airplanes).
For example, as I left the circle after my second flight, a judge yelled, "You got something against triangles?"
The judge went on to say that they were OK triangles individually, but not together. I did holler at the judges (which one can do with electric) immediately after performing the triangles, advising them to average the bottoms.
It was swell, with great weather. A lovely way to spend one's wedding anniversary with the wife: she sat in the car and read, and I flew stunt. There was a discussion here awhile back about judges' notes on score sheets. That is accepted practice in the Northwest, augmented at this contest by constructive verbal comments. For example, as I left the circle after my second flight, a judge yelled, "You got something against triangles?"
OH HOWARD..You can use my Name. It was your " I did it again" loud enough to help me score
