I and Rick Barch would like to thank Jim personally for making all of us feel like family and letting us fly on his own personal playground. Great food, great friends, and the crazy full scale guys were unbelievable! We all were amazed as they certainly knew their limits and were right against all of them with every pass. The photos don`t come close to describing what they pulled off. See you all next year! Well worth the four hour drive. Had a great time! The best calamari we`ve ever tasted.

Dave, That lean was caused by the force of the wind and me still trying to stand in one spot.

Thanks Again to all those that attended.

Doc was excited by all the great planes and all the superb flying done by all.
He enjoys doing this every year and hopes to have it continue to grow.

Looking forward to the next one myself and hope to see all of you again soon.

Joe, thanks to you for your personel interest in making this thing happen. We all love to watch you fly and hold our ears whenever you crank up. That has to be the loudest airplane I`ve ever heard other than Dave Kellys. Biff will definitely have a word with you at the Nall! I certainly hope you get it broke in before then so you can remove the 10x6 Master Airscrew from the DA. Seriously,thanks for everything.Don`t get sick on those chocolate bars!
Bill

Jeff, Sorry I missed you guys. Doc has the say on how many get invited right now as he grows the event. But you guys will diffently be on the list for the next one in late Sept. as it stands now.

I would love to invite all my friends I have met through the years, please understand that I only input the info to the event, not put it on. I am a little helper "B".
Are you going to Nall?

I'd like to thank Jim "Doc" Martuccio for a fantastic event, first class all the way. I had the chance to fly with a few of the guys from FG and finally put a face on the screen names. It was fun to see Bill Cline fly his foamy when the wind would ground the monster edge, got to see those beautiful "wood cowl" models from Joe Stek and Dave Kelly and I almost lost my hearing when snap a saurus decided to do a full throttle low pass with the "beast". Someone said this event was like a mini Joe Nall with more time to fly. Thanks to Dave Kelly for the invite and not only Jim but the entire Martuccio family for making everyone feel at home. Hope to see you again.

Thanks again
Albert Santiago
