We held our last meet of the year this past Sunday. Nice day and no snow on the circle! Just one contestant posted a speed.     Ernie Evon    96.5 mph  Early Cox Conquest   APC  6.5x5   OS  LC3 plug.  Ernie has made steady improvements and is building his next Perky. Powerplant?   ???

OK, I'll start a 2019 report now.

I'm a little slow putting out the 2018 final listing.

Here's little teaser: 
Bill Hughes (unfortunately) got ousted from the closest-to-average prize by three last minute entries.

Nothing new in the top 6 placings.

 ;) Paul, I can't speak for anyone but myself when I say:  THANK YOU  ;D, THANK YOU  ;D, THANK YOU  ;D for your patience and diligence hosting this event.  I admit, I am not and may never be any good at it, but doggone it, I've had fun "playing".  Best of all, following your documentation of what the other guys are doing just adds smiles and dreams to my day! :)  Again, thank you!!

We got another time for the 2019 results.   Ernie Evon    100.5    Fresh rebuild on a Cox Conquest.  I could not attend but Ernie and Al assure me there will be more once the fuel system glitches are worked out. Forgot to ask what prop was used.  Nice going guys!!      TS

The  Conquest was turning a APC 6.5x5 and using a Nelson plug and sounding strong. The mph should go up once Ernie adds some extra cc to the tank.

The standings have been updated since the 2019 Nats.
If I were running the Nats event I would have "passed" on the second of Henry Nelson's "double entry" and bumped the (token) award to the next person. In Muncie there were 15 airplanes entered by only 8 people.

There are no major changes in the 2019 Standings.

We have 13 entries thus far.

Al Ferraro is still Number One at 114.4 MPH
Patrick Hemple is closest to average at 95.78
