It was a pleasure to judge, I have always had a soft spot for scale. I keep threatening to build one of several airplanes I have in mind, but then, who would be left to judge lol.
Glad you enjoyed your time in Eugene. I wish I could say that you worked diligently to fight it out for first place in sport scale, winning by grit and pulling out the few points in the last minute, but, well,, it wouldnt be true, you were very well prepared, presented your model and documentation well, and frankly, it was pretty much an easy choice. The other entries were interesting, one gentleman had  low static scores, but flew his models well, the other had high static scores but had some flight issues sadly, but, no broken models,,

Again, look forward to your additional details on the Jenny, enjoy this great model. ( Oh and I PROMISE Pat and I never ever got closer than 15 feet to judge it,, or uh,, ok so AFTER we judged it we did, but thats ok right?)

John, you can be very proud of your accomplishment.  The pictures of your Jenny really make it a stand out.  Are you going to the NATS with it?  Congradualations on the win.

Thanks for the kind comments. The Nats are probably not in the picture, as I can't afford the vacation time (at least right now) -- maybe next year. It takes 3 days to get there each way (2600 miles), plus the four days of the event and roughly $1K for fuel and hotels. And the wind blows in Indiana...

John, here's an optional maneuver that you may want to practise with your Jenny.
