Only the second contest I competed in since February 2017. Had what I consider a good turn out over recent years. I managed a third place finish in INT/ADV(6 entries I believe). Did not take enough pictures but hopefully enough to show. H^^

More pics.
-
And more. H^^
1st pic the peanut gallery/spectators.
2nd pic Lunch time.
3rd pic RC Club set up concession stand with hamburgers, hot dogs and other stuff. How can we thank them for the use of the field and providing a circle for control line.
4th pic Doug Burright with his Ringmaster.
5th pic is of my third place Ringmaster Imperial with thanks to Lee Machine Shop for sponsoring the trophy.

Hey John,
Where was this contest held ?I know the annual Top Class lost it's field at Gage Park some years ago. Is the contest sill held in Topeka each year or has it moved out of town ? ??? D>K H^^

Terry TopClass now shares a field with the Blue Sky Squadron RC club in Berryton, Ks. on Topeka’s south east corner- out in wild turkey country- and we saw a few last weekend.

Terrence, you are just going to have to get out of that dungeon, gage Park circle has been gone for a long time. Then they had a better circle west of town but some politician got money put in his pockets to remove the circle and put in a water park. Haven't been out to see since I heard the circle was gone. Can't thank the RC club enough for providing a circle. It is 10 miles closer to me than the last one. mw~

John,
Is this an annual event? If so, does it fall on certain week of the month each year? Also, is it a Saturday and Sunday event?
Thanks,
Joe Ed

Yes, it is a real event.............John can fill in the details. John ... do you have an address for the field.. How do you get there ? ....... ??? D>K H^^
-
Yes it is a Memorial Day weekend date. If you google maps or see Microsoft maps, type in paulen road and 69th. It is SE of intersection. Address is: 4535 SE 69th Berryton, KS 66409. H^^

Terrance here is why I haven't been flying at field much this month. Seems after a rain the brainless turd likes to play on the circle with his junk heap. Dave is getting disgusted with all the work we do. I told Dave to tell park manager that if he supplied the materials I would do the work to maybe put a stop to this. Nothing like steel pipe sunk in the ground. 8 foot pipe with about 3 foot above ground and steel cable. enough room between two pipes for the mower to pass through. HB~>
