Well, that depends on if you have light on the plane. Oh, and you may need some windshield wipers late this evening......

You can fly as light permits. The field will be open flying today for club members and guests.

Actually Rob I got home about 6ish but I've been busy posting the pictures on my private website and getting the score and other pics to Roy for the IMAC site.

Well, Jim C stepped it up a notch and threw one darn fine contest if you ask me. Friday practice was a blast, Saturday was really well done then dinner was superb, and Sunday was really thought out.

The host club, Pegasus RC certainly made us feel like we were at home and the word is another is certainly possible for next year but I'll defer that to Jim and crew

OK so here is the pics I took

The Freestyle pics are at

http://gallery.me.com/bubbagates#101737

The typical contest pics are at

http://gallery.me.com/bubbagates#101730

They are not even close to the quality that Stan does for us, but they work

I have sent the scores for posting as well as the same pictures for posting into the NE gallery. I have sent the story report to Brian so he can do his usual fine job of writing the contest report.

The official pilot total was 26 pilots

Thanks to Jim, Brian, Dave and Pegasus for a well run, total blast of a contest

OH my how could I forget his lovely wife, if you had a chance to talk to her, she is loads of fun, thank you Melanie, truly

Just got home a short bit ago! 6.5 drive for me and it was totally worth it! Jim and the Pegasus club put on a first class event. Furthermore, considering it was their first IMAC event ever, even more outstanding! Thanks again to everyone that assisted in making it happen! I will definitley be back next year!

I just had a thought, I hope Jim remembers that when he orders a replacement for Alex's broken award, he orders a "sippy cup"

Wish I would have gotten that picture I had just put my camera down

I can't decide if Alex's new nickname is either "Butterfingers" or "Bull" as in "Bull in china shop"....
