NIGEL LAMB!! This guy was a great dude to interview. Nigel flew the MX2, and was 3rd overall in the competition! One of the best interviews we got, Nigel gets it. He also says he tried to fly RC models before, but always crashed 'em.

Would have LOVED to get a ride, but no. We're in the process of arranging coverage from other worldwide RBAR events as we speak. Maybe next year for sure. Back to the photo flood, more video later this evening...
