Subject: Ringmasters Take Dallas Contest by (wind) Storm
I was not able to go the this year's contest, but David Gresens wrote the following. Ringmasters 1,2,3 in OTS.......1,3,4 in Classic.......and 1st in Expert. Not to bad for our little S-1 Ringmaster.
" Dallas was interesting! Wind was about 20-30 most of the day. Saturday Ringmasters were 1-2-3 in OTS. No other airplanes were brave enough to fly. Both of Richard Staight's flights were interesting, but he stayed in the air. Mark Holub had some engine problems, but we managed an official flight. Classic had same 3 RM's with a guy from Arkansas. Ringmasters were 1-3-4, with some very interesting up-wind flying!!!! Still nothing hit the ground too hard.
Sunday saw me and Tom Farmer in expert, Mike Greb in advanced, and the guy from Ark. and another guy I didn't know in Intermediate. I put in what would have been a 540 in Houston, except that I left out my triangles. The guy from Ark. got upwind and crashed in a spectacular yard sale, spreading parts of airplane and engine everywhere. Tom edged me out in flight one, so I had to fly again. Mike Greb's engine quit in the square eight, but he wind flew the inside loop and the engine diesel started and he finished without a hiccup. The wind was now at gale force!!! My back up RM flew like a champ in flight 2, and Tom Farmer's Wing folded in the outside squares and made a hole in the asphalt when it hit. The guy from Ark crashed another airplane, and we decided to quit. I ended up with 466 and it was good enough to win. I also won a Lew Woolord tuned Super Tigre 34. I'm going to put it in my 526. All in all a good weekend. Take care brother. DG"
