Anyone got the stats for the VSC 2016?
-
Lou Wolgast won Classic. I'm sure a full report will be posted by one of the CD's
-
Lots of people with huge lenses were taking picture of the board yesterday when they took it down. I thought they'd have posted then here.
Lou Wolgast (Patriot), John Callentine (Rabe Mutstang) and Joe Gilbert (Ringmaster!) were podium in Classic. Frank McMillan (MB-5) and Bob McDonald (Aquila) were 1 and 2 in Super 70's which is the rolling 30 year event. There were others but I can't remember right now.
I borrowed Whitely's Formula S again for the second year in a row and with the last official being the 10th flight since last year's VSC got a well deserved "also ran". Need to get more serious...

Wow! Joe Gilbert getting third with his Ringmaster in classic is amazing. Although Joe can make a Ringmaster fly like a Nobler, it is still quite a feat. Way to go Joe.

Here are the results and the special awards too.
I don't have the scores in a digital format at this time. Stay tuned

Looks like I'm going to have to build another Sheeks plane and so a better job of it. Congrats to all who won and flew. H^^

No Kaz this year? Bob Hunt? No Sheeks designs either? ???

Yeah, I was disappointed too. But it should be motivation for someone get busy on one for next year. I don't want to see the award retired due to lack of participation.

Hated to miss our annual excursion down (slightly) under, especially this year. Dueling Devil Colds struck first me and (somehow) later Shareen, forcing us to cancel our planned annual excursion to VSC.
Especially missed being there to congratulate two of our greatest friends in modeling for their special awards presented during the banquet. The Gialdini Sportsmanship award to everybodys' favorite tall Blond, Barbara Trostle for her annual contributions of Stunt's Greatest Annual 'Single Home' Block Party and the well deserved under the radar at last recognition of Barbara's even taller husband Keith as this year's Keeper of The Flame. Shareen and I were thrilled when we heard and shared an especially big hug in hopes that the vibe would be felt all the way to Tucson.
Just a short note about the man I met at a Nats in1967 and whom I've come to admire more in each subsequent year. Few, if any, people have had a greater impact in so many different ways on our mutual modeling obsession than has Keith Trostle. An Air Force Team Member back when such a thing was an important annual part of our National Championships; a Walker Cup winner; a skilled designer of stunt ships recognized around the world for their performance and semi-scale realism; as an event director and often judge for our National CLPA Championships and F2B Team Trials; as a manager and/or assistant for US CL Teams to World Championships and as a judge in other years; as one of the small cadre of key individuals responsible for the birth, development and long term well being of PAMPA most especially being our organization's first President, serving multiple terms as such to insure PAMPA's roots were firm and well hydrated...then remaining in charge until competent subsequent leadership was available and agreeable. I could go on.
If ever there was a recipient who has earned the title, "Keeper of the Flame" in CLPA circles it is this year's honoree.
Congratulations, my friends. The Tall Blond and the Kernel (a private term of admiration) were and continue to be an unbeatable team.

Right on Ted. y1

Absolutely! Kind of overdue, wasn't it?

Well written Teddy boy. H^^

There's a special place in my head for Keith, a different place from the ones everyone is familiar with.
"Back in the day", in different locations and situations, Keith and Remel Cooper explained, described and then helped me understand the geometry of the pattern.
Without their help I probably would not have been so lucky with what I was able to accomplish.

We need you out here next year, Wayne!
