Anyway on to the question and thread,, I think the company's that donated made a great effort to the event, and made it one of the premier events in the world, hope to see some more pics when people get rested up, I still haven't seen a picture of the whole facility , like from the flightline view,,

Jon, Andy Snow was correct in the prizes as they were given out.

Clover Creek officials were the decision makers on how the prizes were distributed and the question had been raised on Sunday but no clear reason or answer was given and they had already been distributed.

Your observation was noticed by many there.

Just a note, if you have never seen the movie Pay it Forward, I suggest you check it out.

Jason did just this... and so am I. I have many pattern friends that would love to fly an IMAC contest here and there near their house but don't own anything that qualifies.

With their help and team work and me passing on this opportunity to my friends, they too can experience an IMAC contest whenever they want.

This effort happens at every contest... in fact, Andrew Jesky ( who I never caught up with to say thank you) supplied the crimps to repair my tail wheel pull pull which broke in transport and not noticed until 30 mins before first round of which I was scribing for and was then the first pilot up.

Thanks Animal!

Jon Shroeder is a prime example of Pay it Forward, what an amazing man and mentor for many of our young talented IMAC pilots!!

Thanks to all the Clover Creek organizers and volunteers.

Pay it forward,

Chuck Hochhalter

I want mad at all,, just talking chit, just having fun, but I figured it would come across wrong, so I deleted it, I wish I could have got that plane, I think it is so cool that someone would in a way donate a plane and pass it down to someone,

Chuck,

Well said.
When I had engine troubles on Saturday Andrew was the first person out there asking me what I needed. We dragged the plane back to the RV and when we got there Tony Russo was already there with a new motor.
45 minutes later my plane was in the air again.

Great friends, great people.

Wayne what was wrong with the engine? Mine is doing the same thing with the flutter again. We found out it only does it at half throttle. Could it be from the engine reg?
