You go girl. I hope my daughter gets the bug too when she is a little bigger. If you can, post some flight video's when you get it in the air. It will encourage others to follow your lead. Mike

By the way, how did you get such a low AMA number?

I got the AMA number from John Da'ttavio ( I believe thats how you spell it) and thank you guys so much!! You guys are so helpful with all your good luck wishes!

john e. holliday · « **Reply #21 on:** June 28, 2014, 08:55:47 AM »

The plane looks great and I hope it does well for you at the NATS. It was great meeting you and your Dad at Brodaks. Loved the out fit you wore in the Junk Yard Wars, at least I think that was you with pink hair, pink jacket and skin tight pants.

Samantha Hines · « **Reply #22 on:** June 28, 2014, 08:59:19 AM »

Id like to thank Bob Hunt for the wing, and plans which I won at FCM and also id like to thank Dick Imhoff for the graphics!! And of course my dad becuase everytime I had to work on thr airplane he would come down in case I needed help

and you all cause of all thr support

Steve Helmick · « **Reply #23 on:** June 28, 2014, 06:04:09 PM »

Samantha, your new plane looks great, and I think it should work real well with the B.40. You'd better get it out and start trimming real soon. Don't get too frisky with it before you get all the trimming done and it's safe to really wring it out. The TT Cyclone 11x4.5 prop works really well on the B.40.

That low of an AMA number is quite a coup, so take good care to keep it over the next few decades. Fly well at the NATS and do your best!

Some of the best contest stories start with " so I took this BRAND new model to..." Put the first flight on my Frisky Pete the day before the first round of Old Time at the 2012 VSC. Ended up in the top 20 if I remember right. Just stay focused and and on task. Better to fly an old airplane and keep the new one in one piece then to rush it.

Good luck!

Samantha, Looks great. I watched you win the Beginner Contest at the NATS last year. I'm sure you will do well in Intermediate.

I will be running Beginner this year. I need to talk to you or your dad about that if I can.

Thanks, Mike Stinson

That's what I though, the same age as Angela, the young lady I've been helping albeit sporadically (for a variety of reasons). Anyway, was hoping to draw some inspiration for her from this and the age is perfect!

So, Samantha will be the one with the *pink* hair, as opposed to almost everyone else, who has *no* hair? Got it!

john e. holliday · « **Reply #36 on:** July 02, 2014, 08:19:57 AM »

I don't think the judges could handle it if she wore the same out fit at the NATS that she did at Brodaks. Yes, she is one terrific young lady and very nice. It would be great if all us old geezers could get our grand kids flying, even if for just fun.

Samantha Hines · « **Reply #37 on:** July 02, 2014, 08:41:48 PM »

Dan and I are going to wear our jackets for the NATS judging. And thanks Jeff

and yes ill be THE pink lady in flying.

Derek Barry · « **Reply #38 on:** July 03, 2014, 01:11:39 PM »

Since you know the full pattern now, will you be competing in Junior/Senior?

Samantha Hines · « **Reply #40 on:** July 04, 2014, 09:51:02 AM »

Yes ill be flying in junior. The Vector did not get finished and the Long Shot was farther along. And yes Dan is judging

Scott Richlen · « **Reply #41 on:** July 04, 2014, 01:28:10 PM »

I was judging Intermediate PA at Brodaks when Samantha flew. She really had her intersections and shapes down. Both her flights were very good (but ya just gotta watch out for those over-runs!) We didn't give her any "sweet-heart" points, she earned her scores. And she came very close to winning!

Guys - she's going to be competing in Advanced very soon!

Scott

john e. holliday · « **Reply #42 on:** July 05, 2014, 08:39:14 AM »

With the talent she has and the coaching available to her, she will be there in ADV next year and hopefully NATS INT champ this year. As long as she keeps her cool and all engine runs are good.
