Congratulations to Steve Couch.

Flying in his first NATS Steve took on the best and prevailed.  His SE-5a is a museum quality model.  And a 1800.5 static score gives you and idea of the quality of Steve's modeling.   His flying was almost as good, 1678 first flight score and 1578 second flight score, for a two flight average of 1628.

I have attached a picture of Steve and his SE-5a plus some closeups for detail.

I corrected the static score in the original posting.  I had typed it wrong, 1088.5 in stead of 1800.5 which is only 199.5 points from a perfect score.  The model can only be described as WOW.

Even the bomb rack and bombs are exact duplication of the factory drawings.  It is interesting to watch Steve drop the bombs sequencially in a "bombing run on the trenches".

Again congratulations Steve.
