Turn out was a little low today so we will try again tomorrow. This clip is only 15 minutes long.

Thanks for the video.   I recognized a few of those people.  Also isn't it Buder Park?

 Very cool, nice job! Neat to see John Moll's finished "Perky" model, I think I sold him that kit. I'll have to check this video out more thoroughly when I have more time, gotta hit the sack now here and get up early for some flying tomorrow.

 Psst..hey Sparky, I think there's only one B in "Buder"? ;)

Thanks for the spelling lesson. I don't need it. I more need typing lessons. I guess I could leave everything blank so I don't get criticized.

Excellent video Robert, Thanks for posting it. Not many are willing to take the time to shoot, edit, and post.  Mike

I noticed and thanks but I get really tired of no matter what I do it has to be perfect. I am not and I am not going to try to be.

Hey Sparky, don't get your drawers up in a tightwad.   I like the video and like what you do for the CL community.   I guess I am an agitator.   Keep up the great videos.    H^^

Looks like the hardest part of that CL discipline is staying on your feet after a speed flight!
I can see where you'd need a pole for some of those models.

If you do a little bit every day it will get done, or you can do it tomorrow.

That is the way that the speed contest in the Northwest looked to me also. Not a lot of flying but a lot of repairs and adjustments made all day.
