Stunt A Thon and more

[Mike Haverly]

It is this weekend and the weather should be much better than last year.  Now the "and more".  This will also be on Flyinglines.


MODEL STUFF AUCTION!
Recently Ray Grigsby stopped by our Skyraiders meeting and dropped off all his models and supplies to distributed as we saw fit.  We decided on an auction at the Stunt-A-Thon contest this weekend.  Most of it is geared toward combat from yester years with most being flyable as they sit, some with engines.   The auction will be silent with bid sheets on the tables with the items and will run all day Sunday only.  There are enough items that the end times will be split up into three different times so if you miss out early there will still be a chance later in the day.
Here is an incomplete list of the items.
4 ea.        Fox .36X                               Used various conditions1 ea.     Fox .40                                               Used rat race1 ea.

The Stuntathon was a good contest as usual, and I had fun as usual.  The above Mike Haverly had been busy with elderly vehicles and elderly relatives, so I told him, "Don't worry about the contest. I'll take care of everything."  I didn't, of course.  I brought part of the prizes for stunt, but forgot the other events, for example.  Mrs. Wescott and the intrepid Skyraiders filled in and everything went smoothly.  Turnout was OK on Saturday for Classic and Profile.  The aforementioned Mike Haverly brought the wrong fuel jug, and his Freedom 45 only got as far as the overhead eights.  On his second flight the engine quit on the first lobe of the clover, and the airplane landed less than two laps later.  Ten points for the clover, zero for landing, and no paternity points, right?  Dr. Underwood argued on Mike's behalf that the loop was a kill loop, so the landing should count.  No official protest was filed. 

Dave Royer won Old Time, John Leidle won Classic, and Fred Underwood won Profile.

To my surprise, people showed up to fly carrier.  I guess my mind couldn't process this aberration, because I walked through the carrier circle as usual to the bathroom and tripped over a set of many lines.

The pictures show the total entries for Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced stunt and the entries for Expert, respectfully.

Paul Walker won Expert as (almost) usual with his new P-47.  Chris Cox was second with his 20-point cover-girl Hellcat.  I squeaked by Alan Resinger on my second flight to take third.  I didn't make a scene at the contest about getting beat by Cox again, but I cut down a maple tree and defaced a Canada goose sculpture in anger when I got home.  You can't keep these things bottled up.

Poor loser.   There are times I wish I lived closer to you guys, but I was born a KANSAN and probably die a KANSAN even though teen age years were in MISSOURI.  Thanks for the report.

Well Howard, as a Canadian, I feel obligated to apologize for my conduct.

But I won’t!
