If I decide to go, I won't be able to stay for Sunday. I'm not looking for a ride. The reason I ask is because the flyer on their website says there will be an "extremely large merchandise raffle" on Sunday. If I go, I'm going to need a kind, honest soul to bring back all the booty I'm going to win at the raffle on Sunday. #^

Now I'm going to need to either give money to 1) an honest soul from the St. Louis area going to the Tulsa contest to purchase raffle purchase raffle tickets for me, or 2) give money to an honest soul from the Tulsa area coming to the St. Louis Broken Arrow contest on September 15,16 to purchase raffle tickets for me.
Then I'm still going to need an honest soul from the St. Louis area to bring back my booty from Tulsa's "extremely large merchandise raffle." #^
Any volunteers?

The main dish will be Taco Salad. ( plus drinks, chips, etc. )
This is very generous of both of them.
This way, fun flying and pattern practice can continue 'till dark.

Really like the web cam overview of your field. Too bad the RV is blocking most of the circle as viewed around 8 AM central time.Ill relate the message as soon as everyone gets here. We havent started flying yet. Still a touch foggy.

It's sad.
Post by: De Hill on September 29, 2018, 05:12:26 PM
Bob Reeves told one of our OKC members that he could park his motorhome at Reeves field. After the motorhome arrived, it was found that it was so heavy that the only place to park it was in front of the camera on a gravel patch.
That's the story in a nutshell.

The weather was somewhat better than predicted although some tricky winds at times. Cool and damp in the morning, especially on Saturday. Some afternoon sun warmed things up Saturday. I had to wear a sweatshirt and jacket at dawn on Saturday and was sweating in short sleeves that afternoon. When you are used to 95-100+ degrees for three or four consecutive months, a morning temperature of 57 is cold.
I think Tulsa, like the entire DFW area, benefited from some rather heavy rainfall over the last few weeks. DFW recorded a record rainfall for September of about 12.5 inches. More rain in September than from March to August this year.
The grass on those circles was nicely mowed and ready to go. Hard to find anything better.
Post by: James Holford on September 30, 2018, 07:01:42 PM
I made it back to Fort Worth about an hour ago. For those within driving distance but could not attend, you missed a good one. Very good attendance, more than what I have ever seen before at Tulsa. Things were well organized, smooth operation all around. Good eats, good conversation, and good flying.Totally agree!! A must attend contest if never been!

Colleen and the MMG's deserve a large amount of thanks!

We were lucky at the Gluedobbers. About 15 years ago, John Ashford came over from OKC, put on a Judging clinic, and gave us a
cadre of trained Judges.
This was our 30th Stunt contest after the second coming of the Controline Gluedobbers..
Interestingly enough, Jim Lee has attended 29 of those.

And I have thoroughly enjoyed every one!!! The Glue Dobber's put on an excellent contest. The circles are in wonderful condition. Bob Reeves grass berms at the edges delineate them without being obtrusive. And, as De pointed out, there is a very large group of people that do such a great job with all the details. and then, there is lunch....!!!!!
Believe me, when that dinner bell rings, the place comes to a halt!!
And, you should have seen all the kids flying in Beginner! won't be long till they are challenging some of their elders.... And we won't talk about how 'elder' we are becoming....
So, Glue Dobbers, Thanks for as wonderful weekend.
PS: We got to see the Blue Whale again...... :-)
Thanks

When Sunday's scores are posted, I think you will agree that in Expert, it does not get any closer. From my weak memory, I think the first three places were separated by 1.5 points. If someone has a pic of Sunday's scoreboard, please post it.

A photo of the scoreboard for Old Time, Profile, and Classic was posted earlier. I do not think Sunday's scoreboard was posted yet, I have not seen it.Really wish I could have watched this one. In all of my "too many" years flying stunt I don't think I have ever seen a contest where last place was a 587!

That was interesting, but doesn't mean too much (and that sort of thing has to be accommodated in any contest organization scheme (high judge/low judge problem)).
The order is what matters, and young Matt seems to be learning very quickly...

They are all accomplished fliers. I have flown contests where the conditions were perfect and everybody flew way above their normal. Those days are the most fun you can have with your clothes on.
