C'mon now. Don't be too harsh about it. I do agree that Jason should have not won. To me, personally, they lacked his normal balls out flying!!!! Who should have won was either Gerber, QQ or Gernot. Those 3 had AWESOME free's!!! Gernot pushing the envelope each time he flew!!! Remarkable!!!

Just my opinion.

I really hope this kind of talk doesnt continue.
You may have liked someone else's routines better but unless you were sitting in a judging chair you cant take anything away from the winner.
Covering the criteria and what the crowd likes may be two different things.



Congrats to Jason!

Merlin, why does everything have to be a brand war, or a conspiracy??? Jason does fly REALLY well!!! Contest is over, and cannot change anything!! If ya don't like it, tuff stuff!!! Why not submit yourself to be a judge for next years event??? You know, of course, you have to be a qualified judge. You are qualified, aren't you??? Quit your complaining about it, and just move on!!! I stated my opinion on that, and didn't belittle the judging and say that everything is a conspiracy. I did agree with you(that Jason shouldn't have won), but now you have gone too far with this.

Congrats to Jason. I was not there to congratulte him in person. I personally felt that his free's lacked his normal balls out flying I'm accoustomed to see him fly. I'm not crying over that. I'm not crying at all!!!

As far as being "family" involved?? Frank does all the promotions and Wendell actually CD's the event. No other "family" is there unless you are referring to Team Futaba?? Judges are judges, no matter what shirt they have on. They are people like you and I. Judging is fair, and they call it how they see it.

I stated my opinion. I'm done!!!

Chris~
