Jim
Congratulations on your Second Place finish at the Tree Town Contest in CL Sport Scale!

When Jim and I both left the contest they were to mail out score sheets to us.  The wife and I found a good restaurant "Mothers" about three miles from the field.  After lunch the wife and I went back to the field and I picked up my score sheets.  I was glad to hear that Jim had finished in Second Place in Sport Scale with the Rearwin Speedster, another Jim Fruit museum quality model.  Static Score was 98 from both judges. 

Now for the shocker.  I had entered my 1914 Jeannin Stahltaube and after the ten laps I started loosing elevator control do to the control cables having stretched.  This gave me a wide neutral zone on the elevator.  When I did an unplanned touch and go I lost the right wheel ending my day.  My static scores were 98 and 97 for an official static score of 97.5.  1/2 point behind Jim on the ground. Then we both had trouble in flight and we ended with identical flight scores so I finished in Third Place.

Congratulations Jim.  To show how surprised I was to get Third Place I forgot to ask who WON! 

After I had problems with my original used OS FS91 engine in the Taube at the 2011 and 2012 NATS Jim gave me a NIB OS FS91 engine that runs perfect.  Engine problems solved.   So I run an engine from Jim and he uses U/Tronics Controls from me.

You guys need to team up.  

There is an event called Team Scale, but Clancy and I would not be able to determine who would have to fly.

That is great news.   Hopefully the flying went well with it.

Doc:

The posted results are listed elsewhere here by Fred Cronenwett. I sort of shot myself in the foot when it came to flying. The plane flew well, but I posted only 77 points. I did not feel well on the Saturday that we flew, so I advised the judges that I would not be doing the high flight maneuver. I get dizzy anyway when I do that maneuver, and I did not want to wind up on the pavement. That cost me a maximum of 10 points. That did not worry me too much because we had a chance to do three more flights to attempt a better score, maybe even try some high flight. But, as it worked out, AMA shut us down for the afternoon flying due to approaching storms. The same thing was forecast on Sunday, so we never flew again. I finished third. Second place beat me by 1/2 point. First place (John Brodak) beat me by 12 points. I don't think I could have caught him if we flew any more.

Hi Jim,

Congratulations on your third place finish!  You're right, there is a lot to say for a simple well detailed model.
