Title: Paducah Contest
Post by: James Mills on August 21, 2016, 07:58:40 PM
We just arrived home from the Paducah contest and I want to thank Charlie Reeves, Jim Lynch and all the volunteers who made it an awesome weekend.  Great contest, if you are able plan to attend next year.

I just pulled in and unloaded the truck . This is my first time at the site and now I know why everyone talks about going to Paducah.. A very well attended contest run by two of the best guys in control line .

Charlie reeves and  Jim lynch  with a lot of support from their wives, sisters and friends put on a great  vent , with a unbelievable feast for us and our family members on Friday night. And three  great days of fun and fellowship , topped of with two days of competition  at a super site for control line .

I have results , but just too tired to get posted tonight , I will post pictures and results tomorrow

Congrats to new flyer from the Carolina gang Keith Palmer for winning the pilots choice award for his very nice Ares..,
Pictures just cannot do it justice , he is a seasoned pylon racer has has a lot of knowledge on building and finishing to share with use.
