This is great stuff you're doing Dave! The anticipation is killing me!! Keep the updates coming!!

Bob Hunt just finishing the first flight of round 3 with perhaps his best flight of the day. Bill Rich now measuring it up from circle center-now cranking. The signal and she's burning fuel. Eric V. Let's her go.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #252 on:** July 21, 2012, 08:08:07 AM »

OUTSTANDING VERTICALS for Bill and generally a goot un'.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #253 on:** July 21, 2012, 08:13:58 AM »

Kaz now. Had to do a little fishing for the bottoms there on the wingover but found the address again.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #254 on:** July 21, 2012, 08:17:26 AM »

That elbow hurting Kaz again-two handing the level laps but doing a great job! Just cutting now.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #255 on:** July 21, 2012, 08:20:20 AM »

Applause and a nice bow from Mr. Minato as Doug Moon moves on.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #256 on:** July 21, 2012, 08:27:40 AM »

Maybe Doug's second best flight of the day. Well presented. Lands and great applause. That Walker guy approaches....

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #257 on:** July 21, 2012, 08:32:52 AM »

Paul is just plugged in. Machine-like accuracy. Even I can see that bright orange fuse. That electric sounds like when you are getting your hair cut---zzzip. Zzzzip.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #258 on:** July 21, 2012, 08:35:06 AM »

Now he done did it- a cut-off loop! Nice go Paul.

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #259 on:** July 21, 2012, 08:40:52 AM »

Well that concludes the flying of the open finals. I'll be back with placings as I know them. Then I'll need to conclude this webcast and make for Kansas. The Walker Cup and so forth will be availiable from other sources here. Again I'll be back to inform you of your new Champ shortly and must say I've enjoyed this today and hope you did!

WAY TO GO DOUG!!!!!!!

Will Hinton · « **Reply #264 on:** July 21, 2012, 09:04:40 AM »

Oh my word!!!! Doug did it?!!?! Wow, new name on the Walker cup. Nothing against any of the other flyers, they're all great flyers and great gentlemen, but new blood on there is always good for the event. I think it encourages the rest of us to try harder.

Dave Trible, you deserve a medal of some kind for the reporting!!! I think we should all give you a standing ovation! (Doing so now, the wife thinks I've lost it.)

I am beside myself, Doug Moon has won the Nats OMG!!! This is just like F3A where the electrics dominate but the I.C.'s still punch through to the top LOL.

Dave your play by play reporting was fantastic.

Crist Rigotti · « **Reply #266 on:** July 21, 2012, 09:15:52 AM »

Congrats to Doug! Dave thanks for the reporting.

Mike Lauerman · « **Reply #267 on:** July 21, 2012, 09:23:31 AM »

Doug Moon is a dedicated individual who has contributed MUCH to our C/L hobby. I'm amazed and proud.

A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Doug Moon! And fine job for all those gentlemen who made the Top 5.

Mike Palko · « **Reply #272 on:** July 21, 2012, 09:48:14 AM »

Awesome play by play. Congrats to Doug Moon, the Jr and Sr winners.

I didn't see the Walker cup fly-off results although someone stated he won. (Maybe we just assume the open winner wins the cup?).

I look forward to learning who wins the concours.

Tom Niebuhr · « **Reply #273 on:** July 21, 2012, 09:51:53 AM »

Congratulations to Doug... Our guy from Dallas!

Doug will also be the new Pampa Disdrict VIII VP. I had considered running, but when I heard that Doug wanted the job, I threw my support to him. I have pledged to support and help him as much as possible. Doug is a perfect example of the mature, younger blood that we need.

Zuriel Armstrong · « **Reply #274 on:** July 21, 2012, 10:00:44 AM »

Congratulations Doug. I bet Big Brother is all smiles too.

Bruce Perry · « **Reply #275 on:** July 21, 2012, 10:42:47 AM »

Doug!!! Way to go!!

It was a tough field and you prevailed, totally cool. You would have had to work for it with Paul flying so well all week.

Congrats

Bruce

Doug is THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have talked to him a few times since it ended and I get the impression that it has not sunk in yet. I keep calling him Champ to help it along...

Congratulations to all the Walker Cup Fliers...and especially to Doug Moon.
Nice to see a new name on the Cup...
It's been obvious for a long time that you have the "Right Stuff"...Glad you finally got to prove it!

Pretty awesome! But, very close one year, crash the next year, win the after that? That's the winning combination...

Randy, this going to more and more like F3A where, 50 guys will be at a contest and 49 of them will be electric, and the one guy with his YS 175 Dingo blows them all away.

Bill Little · « **Reply #290 on:** July 21, 2012, 06:05:33 PM »

I cannot argue if Electric will completely take over CLPA, but slimers will still be around for a while.

Some people are like Aaron and I. We have (3) PA .61, (2) PA .51, and (2) PA .40, and not counting the T&L ST G.51s, AT .36s, OS .40VFs, Saito .72, etc.. So to go out and turn completely electric will take more money than I will ever have.

Just my take on things......

Congrats Doug!!!!

Absolutely thrilled to see you put your name on the cup!

. Glad someone who was a rookie when I was, come all the way to the top. It has been seventeen nats ago since I flew my first nats with Doug and Steve in Adnvanced. Way to go Doug!

john e. holliday · « **Reply #295 on:** July 22, 2012, 07:14:52 AM »

Has it been that many years?? Way to go Doug and I hope many more for you, unless little brother steps it up.

Doug Moon · « **Reply #296 on:** July 22, 2012, 07:19:04 AM »

Hello from Steve's Suburban on the way home from the Nats.
Thanks for all the kind words. All I can really say right now is WOW!
To say this week was a whirlwind would be an understatement.
I want to say thanks to those who helped along the way.
There is no way I could have pulled it off without the help of so many.
Thanks!
I am posting from my phone. Later when we get back I will write something up about the whole week.

I saw the images on Paul Winter's plane move...

Stop breathing the fumes from Dan's jet fuel and the images will remain stationary.

Paul Walker · « **Reply #298 on:** July 22, 2012, 05:51:33 PM »

Winning sure makes the drive home easier, doesn'tit Doug?

dale gleason · « **Reply #299 on:** July 22, 2012, 06:37:09 PM »

Well, the trip home could have it's adventures, there's more to the story, the Walker Cup's history is being added to, just wait and see.....
