Jason flamed out with his OS 200 FI powered Integral. He flew his electric for the second round, but i am not sure if it was the Integral or the old Impact.

He will be fine, drop that round and make the Semi's as long as he does suffer from any other bad luck.

We have had one mid-air so far, I know it was Lamar Blaire and another masters pilot on site 3, none of the top 3 were involved but not sure who it was. Lamar landed the plane to the applause of the onlookers on the centerline missing one half his stab. the other plane landed safely.

Here is another quick interview with our own Mark Hunt.

Mark is flying the Pentathlon, his own design, that you can see info for at www.insightrc.com

I am a little fond of this plane as i flew his Insight design at last years NATS and the Pentathlon this year.

Again this is a USA design and laser cut.

Hey Jas, stop blowing up motors!!! Hmmm, trying to pull the "come from behind" approach? I just did that in Ireland, but something tells me you'll finish further ahead

Good luck to all!
