Dang, I Can't Beleive it! I was beat by Ted Fancher!

[Brian Massey]

At the recent Meet 'n Meat I entered classic, the first time I've done that; it was for a reason. When being judged by the same judges, I wanted to see how my scores would compare to the "big boys". Well I learned . I received my best score ever; 444.5 flying my Trophy Trainer. Out of 13 flyers that got me a cool 10th place  . But what the hey, Ted took first beating me by a mear 140.5 points. Sigh.

Happens to me all the time.

[Randy Powell]

Yea, I go to the NW Regionals and fly against the big boys. I usually consider it a massive accomplishment if I can get into the top 10 (happened once). With guys like Ted, Paul, Dave, Phil Gordan and others, I'm thrilled if I can do that. Keep at it.

You also have to realize that these modellers with, shall we say, extensive and prolonged experience, get a hundred bonus points for remembering that the contest is on.  So keep prctising and you too will have the same "extensive and prolonged" experience.

Have you ever been to a stunt contest?

well Brian,
 It wasn't last place so your a little 'up' on the ladder. Keep up the good work. Do not believe that old proverb;
'don't worry. Conditions will change. They will get worse'   LOL

In Classic, if you can't fly like the best...at least you can fly with the best.

[john e. holliday]

Do that at VSC each year.   But, it is amazing how the score will go up with a move in class. 

[Bill Little]

I surely hope I can eventually get to VSC while I am still able to fly!

But for now I just have to contend with the OTS and Classic/Nos.30 classes at Huntersville which seem to attract multiple NATS and VSC winners in both........  I counted 6 guys at the last Huntersville Meet I could attend and there were 6 former "Champs" (some more than once) flying in OTS, and I could have missed someone!

Flying in Classic (now Nostalgia 30) I can get a reading on how I stack up.  Now that I haven't been able to fly AT ALL for about 6 months, I wouldn't even waste the Judges time by entering.........
