Scores from Middlesex NJ.

Both CT Schaefer (122.241) and Jim Vigani (117) topped the record.  Bill Hughes is still (even closer) to the average.

We received a long distance entry via facebook.

Welcome Andrew Nugent of Melbourne Australia, our 16th entry.

I have the Whitney photos, but I will need to shrink one to post it here.

I will post the top three (at least) on facebook, too.

Via facebook I have some interest from Sergo Tomelleri, former F2D, now A, flyer from Italy.  Someone who lives near Rossi is always a threat.

Hey Paul :o!!  I thought you said "I will continue the Perky Postal again this Year of Our Lord 2017.  As before, the contest will continue until November 15, .... "  I would ask you to hold to that because I've been trying to get a good run but I keep running into problems.  The engine and my homemade fuel tank have been giving me a fit!!  I was hoping to get in the air this evening and again tomorrow evening the 15th, okay  ???

 :(  Oh well!  Paul, please forgive my earlier post .... for my Perky 03 .... tomorrow will not come  :'( !   My buddy and I did the best we could in five attempts but we couldn't get a flight to better last Saturday's time so I'll have to report that  :'( :'(.  I wish to report on 10 Nov. 2018, my Perky 03 flew:

13   Jim Carter    69.11    Havin' fun     Titusville   FL   Uctam     111.22     117.90     (26.44)

I copied the info from the Excel spreadsheet that I had downloaded and I'm not sure what columns I and J mean.
 
(p.s.: I just know Bob is probably laughing at that  :-\ but there's always next year .... I hope!!)

It's called the Uctam .15.  I bought it, used, from a fellow in the Ukraine.
