Jeff, no matter what happened in the freestyle you really showed that you belonged in the invitational class. Both you and Matt flew really well.

I have to say your freestyle with the airwild was awesome, that take off into the spinning sequence was awesome.

Bernie Looks a little contorted but I'm glad he's OK. You flew awesome from the video I've seen. Sorry to see the plane go.

Those are incredible pics of the crash! It think it shows really great charactor that jeff would sacrifice the airplane to make extra sure knowone got hurt! That shows some real integrity.
As for the pilot, he survived but it looks like his scull in crushed on one side. His head doesn't look round anymore.

It happens so fast. It was coming down pretty steep when the wing came apart I am not sure if I would have been able to get the nose up before it hit the ground. It was a real bummer I am glad that every one got to see the one round of free with the plane.
I have the first Free with the AirWild Video'd it was BAD ASS!!!!

I will try to burn it to a disk for you next time I see you....

Jeffery... you should show up at Temeculah this saturday... they are having a club fun-fly and there is gonna be a sort of "3D Demo"..... Bring Matt!!!!!

My brother has also flown that plane in many advanced and unlimited IMAC contest and done very well with it.
Jeffery,

Dude you are one class act. Way to go, we are all very proud of your accomplishments both in the air and on the ground. Keep it going and I for one look forward to flying with you again.

I second all the kudows. The bros were a class act at TIMPA. They made the invitational competitions interesting.

Be sure to look for them next year!

Jeff is the man..
His flying all week was really impressive. Both in Invitational and in Free.
I didnt get to see a lot of Matts this week because he flew right behind me for four days. Looking at the scores, he is obviously kickin ass also.

Matt and Jeff,
It was great seeing you guys again.
Looking forward to next year.

Great job Jeff, you and your bro kicked ass this week. IMO your first round Freestyle was one of the best of the round and you had the crowd eating out of your hand. I don't care what anybody says about the Airwild, you flew that thing like it was a foamy. A climbing flat spin with a 35% plane? Come on!!! that was amazing, it just showed how light on the wing that plan flies. Congrats to both you and Matt.
