I'm absent to do airplane repairs and to attend a nephew's HS graduation. Mr. Rutherford will assume my judging duties.

Randy Powell · « **Reply #6 on:** June 12, 2010, 07:00:09 PM »

I'll be there tomorrow. Had graduation duties yesterday and today. Just got back from Portland.

See you guys in the morning.

LEO....LEO....LEO!!!!
A HUGE THANKS...FOR PERFORMING AN AMAZING GIFT OF PHOTOGRAPHY...(as our very own "NW KING OF CLPA PAAAPERRRR-ROTTSKI-NAUGHTZEEEE!"

Great to see such GREAT FLYING....from so many flyers that were performing their patterns in some pretty INTENSE-N-TESTEEE' WIND CONDITION WINDOWS...during those CLPA finals on Sunday afternoon.

Randy Powell · « **Reply #8 on:** June 14, 2010, 12:35:27 PM »

It was a fun time. I still stink, but the odor wasn't as bad. And it was fun in spite of interesting air.

Mark Scarborough · « **Reply #9 on:** June 14, 2010, 12:45:53 PM »

It was a great weekend, and Shultzie finally got to see the Avenger , new edition, up close and personal,, it was pretty special for me,, well right up until that dang canadian came from behind and got me in Advanced,,
congrats Keith!!!!
I guess I could confess that my landing ( hey they scored it so that means it WAS a landing) actually cost me my shot,, sigh,,

Mark,

It's always something...

I didn't beat Paul Walker because, uh, well, he did everything better than me.

Hey Mark and Randy.....LV' your "COMRAZZZERY'" almost as much I LV' both your beautiful CLPA models that truly are beautiful works of flying art.

YES!
MARK AND RANDY!
PAUL...GAVE EACH AND EVERYONE ...AN AWESOME "SHOW AND TELL PERFORMANCE" that was a beautiful *site-sight to behold.
"Speaking of SITE'S Or should we say "FRIGHT SITE"
After flying in that " EVER CHANGING WASHING MACHINE WIND WINDOW...STUCK ON "SPIN CYLE"...I thought everyone flying during those "UNUSUAL" wind conditions, WIN OR LOSE should be CONGRATULATED AS ALL WINNERS...to be fortunate enough to leave with any stunt machine...left unscaaaaaaaaaved' n' scratched.
(attached are a couple of "previews" from my crappaldo' little Fugi-Fockler' camera of Mark's and Randy's beautiful "CLPA AIR-RIDIN' MACHINES.)

After talking with Helmick after his landings'....he was mummblin' something about seeing "A tunnel of light

...and hearing the Angels singing?"

Mark...
We just need to given extra points for THREE POINT LANDINGS...(if that was approved you would have easily won FIRST PLACE...HANDS DOWN!! (or is that NOSE DOWN?)

[Those MARSHMELLOW funny fat squaaasheee' wheels HAVE TO GO!!!!)MARK! BEEUUUTEEEFUL ART...AND CONGRATS ON YOUR FULL PLATE ON APPEARENCE POINTS WELL EARNED..AND WELL DESERVED!

Randy Powell · « **Reply #14 on:** June 14, 2010, 08:15:15 PM »

Couple more pics from the Stunt-A-Thon on Sunday. Notice the restaurant in the background behind Mark and Shultzie. It's right on the pits next to the circle. Nice crowds all day.

John Witt · « **Reply #15 on:** June 14, 2010, 09:22:20 PM »

It was a nice bunch of fliers too. There's a new crowd coming along too, as I think there were 5 or 6 in beginner and an equal number in intermediate. Richard Entwhistle won intermediate, and I didn't get who was the top beginner. Great show even though they made us fly in the south 40 on a 10 foot runway and flying over and under a DC-3 wingtip.

One of the neat things about this airport is the number of interesting light planes in and out during the day. No less than four Globe Swifts, a Colonial Skimmer and a Fairchild 24, among others.

Thanks to the Skyraiders for putting on a great meet.

Great pictures and how could anyone pick one plane over the other. Randy and Mark are perfectionists. Now if you could only get Randy not to smile so much.

LL~Also glad to see Mike's hand is not keeping him down.

I like the shot of the man with words standing with Mark.

Shultzie · « **Reply #17 on:** June 15, 2010, 10:31:19 AM »

Unfortunately my little Fugi Camera battery seems to becoming weaker and weaker...(humm? Sorta' like my knees, fingers, blurry eyeballs and brain)
here are a few of the ones that were less blurry...

First shots.. Haverly beautiful new light weight Shrike
Detail of "LEFTY'S" purty pipe arrangement

Again Haverly's skinny legs and Pete Peterson (beholdin and holdin;)
Pete's amazing Saturn (to die for!) Virtually perfect "transparent finish..WOW!

BassAkward flyin' Alan's Resinger....(Claims this is the last contest for this beautiful and extremely successful Jim Silhavy Gypsy) and has been known to have dreams of building another one with a "small Block Chevy V-8" up front for power.

Last two shots...Potter's new hat and Dirty Dan's expressive new shirt.

(last...but far from least...is a new light weight battery that powers one of the most creative, artistic and beautiful CLPA stunt models that flies as beautiful as it looks.

John Witt

"they made us fly off of a 10 foot runway" Mike Potter is just trying to get us interested in flying a little carrier and "over and under the DC-3 wing" is for our combat practice. One must be well rounded.

Richard

Randy Powell · « **Reply #19 on:** June 15, 2010, 01:20:57 PM »

Shultzie,

That's Mike Haverly's (we call him Lefty) Shrike. And his white legs.

Shultzie · « **Reply #20 on:** June 15, 2010, 03:52:27 PM »

LEFTY!!! (ALSO DOWNUPSKI'

Thanks RANDY!!! for correcting my brain fart...I HAD JUST BEEN TALKING ON THE PHONE ABOUT KEITH...THAT MUST HAVE TRIGGERED A GLITCH!...

Mark... Mark... Mark, Anyone can have a bad landing. I had one just like yours one year at the stuntathon even to the scraped cowl. What I have noticed about your new plane is, You fly it better than anything you have flown before. I am now impressed with your flying and how far you have come in such a short time. If you moved to Portland you would have more flying time but thats the way that goes. I think this plane will bring your skills along quit well. I would say that by the end of the season the other flyers in advanced will have to deal with your skills. Leo
