Title: Some Pictures from the Virginia Stuntfest contest
Post by: Steve Fitton on October 05, 2012, 01:27:47 PM

Some extra pics I had floating around from the contest they had on the 22nd of Sept.  Sunny and warm but pretty windy.  Thanks to Scott Richlen, Dick Houser and all the NVCL guys who put on a great little event!

I love to see pictures from the different contests.  Makes me want to attend them all.

Thanks for posting the pictures.

Me too, Zuriel! The problem is that we have contests about 2 hrs. North (in a whole different country!), to about 5 hours South. If we go to any contests outside those ranges, we're looking at 12+ hrs to any others. If we head East, there's no contests less than 20 hours (Denver, Edmonton, Fargo). I like a good road trip, but...   %^

Thanks for posting the pictures Steve.  You got some great shots.   I think the Teosawke was in its "death-dive" when shot it.  But knowing Frank, he already has it repaired.  Also, check out the picture of the Strega - look at that line rake!  It got bounced quite a bit in the wind.

You forgot to tell everyone about the picture of your son getting his first place Beginner trophy from Dick.  Good flying must run in the bloodline.  No?

Murphy's Cardinal has a WWII torpedo bomber green-house.  I think it looks better then the stock design.  On my Legacy (which is a wreck rebuild) I just moved the canopy forward and backward until I liked where it sat.  It's a Sig canopy that I sprayed the insides red.
