I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of the people at the Nats who helped me have a great outcome. This was a 3+ year quest and was well worth the effort. Thanks to Pete, Allen, all of the judges (very fair I thought), the women who ran the "office" and all of the competitors. I've raced full size cars, boats and airplanes over the years and no group of people were as nice and helpful at the control line scale people. I'd also like to put out a very special thanks to my Skymasters RC club friends Jim and Phil who came with me to the event. After I broke my landing gear and a bunch of other stuff on my P-39 in round they worked with me half of the night to get the Brooklyn Bum ready to fly in round 2. Without their help I could not have won the event. And finally a congratulations to Jim for his second place finish in Fun scale flying my 1/4 scale "Miss Los Angeles". The whole thing was amazing....an event I'll never forget WOW.
