The plane I was flying this year was a PL Products extra. PL is no longer making this plane but a company named TS Composites has the mold and I do believe will be selling shortly.
The plane flys great and 3d's even better. This plane is my brothers that he let me use for this contest. I need to thank him a bunch for this as he knew that there was a chance it would be coming back in garbage bags!!!!!

Hey Andrew well done buddy you did good !!!

Carlos,

Man you were rocking the house this weekend, you put on some great flights and I cannot wait to see your flying at Tucson. You really put on a show even though you had some issues you really pushed through them and showed many people that you deserved to fly on Sunday. GREAT JOB.

Thanks for the compliments Trev and Nassi, I really enjoyed being at the XFC with my family, great friends( the Jones Family, Larry Markey and Len Morgan) It was just a great time. I have to give a huge THANKS to my brother, Joe. I'm very thankful that he let me fly his plane for this contest. He put in many hours of work on this beauty and without his support I don't know what I would have done, I guess that's what big brothers are about!! THANKS JOE!!!!

Andrew

I just posted a smaller wmv version of Ido Segev's freestyle flight on my site. It's the first link in the QuickTake section at the top of my home page. More to come as I get them processed between other big projects. -Fred

...not that I get pleasure in seeing a plane destroyed - just curious as to what happened. I already heard that Jason pushed when he should have pulled. Was that other one your plane, Andrew? I know there was another guy there with a similar bottom wing scheme as you, so it could have been him.
