1 Contest, 1 Dalton, 3 Pilots, 4 wood, WOOD IS GOOD

[Dangerous Dan]

DJ Noer and Zak West flew up from Callie to compete in the Hutch Bunch IMAC in Witicha Kansas, The airline would not let them check in their 3W Votec 42% and it was too big to be considered carry on, so they needed to fly OPP(Other Pilots Plane). I arrived late Friday and let DJ and Zac fly my Dalton 260. They both asked if they could fly it in the competition and I said no problem.

They got 1.5 practice flights each on friday and was planning on practicing early saturday morning at 7:00 am. I got there at 6:45 and put the plane together. 7:00 nobody there..7:30 8:00...Apparently roads are a little different in Callie than Kansas, because it took them over 1 hour to drive the 5 minutes from the hotel. I accused them of getting lost they said they were looking for OZ(They were saddned when I told them it was only Dorithys Dream).

Anyway By noon sunday my Dalton had burned 3.5 gallons of fuel and earned the following wood:

2nd Unlimited Zak West
1st Intermediate DJ Noerr
2nd Sportsman Dangerous Dan Powell
2nd Freestyle DJ Noerr

like I said this is the story of

1 Contest, 1 Dalton, 4 Wood(Awards), and 3 pilots

Great story Dan! !!

Dangit Dan! I am eating lunch. I don't want to see pictures of 3 guys getting wood!

I have to admit it kind of sucks to get beat by a 17 year old kid flying a borrowed plane. Dj and Zak seemed like good guys though.

If I had $1 for every time I was asked that question. We plowed and replanted our field, I took them off so they wouldn't get muddy , and was planning on installing them before this contest, About 1 hour into the trip I remembered i forgot them.

I think the change in Renolds numbers due to the lack of wheel pants may have cost me and Zak a first place win...

How do you only fly one half of a flight?

easy take off, fly 8 minutes, then hand off the transmitter, and let somebody else fly 8 minutes and land...wala 1/2 flight

Hmm...guess that makes sense!
