Tucson Aerobatics Shootout 2008 Point Standings

[Dan_nO]

Cool deal Rick, I think some of the U.S. guys came up there last year, we would like to make it sometime, it wont be anytime soon though but would be a really neat trip !

Didnt know as on the IMAC website it doesnt list the NATS as one of our contests on the contest page.

How you been Rick ? Was good to meet ya last year at Wheeler, we just got back from the NATS, had a bit of bad luck on the last day though.

Hope to see you at Wheeler again this year.

Likewise Dan, Maybe I was unclear. The Canadian Nat's this year are up at Sudbury, replacing the normal comp there, and the RC400 contest is back on as a regular NC contest For me the US Nat's and Tucson are really hard to justify for cost and time. Read about the mishap. Seems to be becoming a theme at the larger contests (rushing to get pilots in the air) in combination with the ACS encouraging us to keep it tight. More planes in a tighter airspace is not a recipe for airplanes staying intact. I've witnessed 3 in eight months, at competitions, and now the US Nat's makes a forth. The cost is one thing but man the safety aspect... for me my first mid air will likely end my flying. Don't think I could handle it. Consider trying to make it to some of the comp's over here. Rumor is we even have beer in the great white north! The Chatham contest is only 1 hour from Detroit. Yes so far Wheeler is on the radar.

NATS results listed on www.mini-iac.com only include finalists. Does anyone have results before the final so that I can include this contest in the TAS point standings?

Thanks!

Kevin, the IMAC site has the scores up. This is before the last day. So you would only use the bottom half of these, and the finals scores you already have for the top half.
