I went to Carmichaels with 16 airplanes to enter 13 events.  I ended up using 11 planes to fly the 13 events, loaned out 3 planes and didn't use 2. Didn't wreck any.  I also left the camera in the car didn't take on single picture at the contest. SO I took a few while I was unpacking.

As with carrier, I don't have full report, mostly just my own stuff when from when I got home.

FUN Scale.

First, Tim LaNore, PT-19, 110 points (99.25)

Second, George Marenka, B-17, 110 points (99.00)

Fourth, Ed Mason, 96.50

I got 99.5 with my little SPAD XIII for third place.  I forgot a stunt on my second attempt, but would still have been in third by a closer margin. The marks for both static and flying were generous to put it mildly.

This was a zero-investment operation until the day before this year's event.  The plane was won a contest in Chicago, circa 1983, the engine was surplus, as was the covering.  I wrecked the lines flying carrier the day before and had to spend $17.95 for some new ones.

There is always next year.  Hope you had fun.   

Which model? The SPAD or the Bearcat?

I hope the Bearcat doesn't look funny, I spent a month rehabbing it this winter.

The SPAD was refinished four years ago and the fuselage IS getting a bit faded and fuel-soaked. Plus, the judges are starting to get sick of looking at it. In an effort to retire it, I added a lazy eight and inverted to my flight routine, but it survived

I think the Bear cat looks great.

Thank you very much.  I appreciate a compliment from such a renown source.

The SPAD and the Bearcat both look great!  The SPAD really comes to life with the detail, fuel soaked or not. 

Paul,
There was one error in the scores you posted, In sport scale George Marenka flew a PT-17, and in Fun scale a B-17.

OK, I changed the Sport Scale.  The Fun was what you said to begin with.  With seven events closing out on Saturday morning, things get a bit hectic.

I noticed two or maybe three B-17's on the field.  Did only one take a prize?
