I'll be there earlier than usual Friday. That's the plan, anyway. I want to be at the judging clinic if there is one.
Rusty
The stunt Judging clinic will happen around 4:00 pm on Friday , good oportunity to get some judging experience. It helps with flying too .
See everyone Friday AM early

Tomorrow is OTS , Profile, N-30 and Basic .. Combat and all of Carrier events,, 5 circles going all at once , busy day. Pilots meeting at 9;45. First official flight for Saturday at 10:00 am
Congratulation to Ron Colombo for winning 1/2 A combat , these combat guys know how to have fun..

Very competitive groups in all events, but more important is hanging out with good friends , sharing modeling stories , family adventures and catching up with our growing families ,
great too see kids of all ages flying too..

Thank you!

Thanks for the kind remarks, my job is easy , it is all of the endless list of people like you that volunteer to help out judging , tabulating , and running scores . These are the people that that do the hard work. The CD just makes sure the people are in the right place.
Attached is the results from scoreboards

I judged expert, and the pilots put on quite the show. #^ #^
One of the special moments for me was watching Derrick Berry put in a REALLY impressive flight with a Thunderbird powered by a Fox 35!
Can't wait for October.

Bob Z.
Yeah, me too. Hopefully I'll be back to flying well before then. And thanks, Bob and Dave, for letting me shadow judge with you guys. Judging ain't a damn bit easier than flying. Especially standing on those steep grass slopes by the circles.
It was a whole lot easier for me to score the guys that fly around and occasionally whiff the ground, add in the occasional inverted landing(all were soft), than it is to score the remarkable maneuvers flown by the experts.
