who won the raffle planes?

[jongurley]

Am I not understanding something, but why is the BME 50 given to the 2nd place guys and the BME116 or 1500 dollars given to 3rd.

Chuck rolled in around noon today, came inside and passed out on the couch, I knew he had goten another plane but had no idea it was in the car with him. yeah, earlier someone had joked about it but i figured Andy Snow still had it in his trailer.

Well, sun is going down, temperature is cooling off, Chuck is moving and he snaps this picture and brings it in... I think he would have put me on top if I had gone!

PS, not bad eh... Volvo v 70, 2 -40% planes and 27 MPG

Gotta love that... Chuck

Jon, by your signature why do you care, you seem to think the Bye My Engine is a POS anyways.

btw, how much do you want for your BME, I don't see it for sale in the engine ads.

Gee, someone's not in a good mood tonight.....

I don't think that Jon is refering to the type of engine, as much as he is wondering why a more valuable prize for third, and a lesser value prize is for second....


And I would like to know the same thing.

ouch,,,,

Anyway on to the question and thread,, I think the company's that donated made a great effort to the event, and made it one of the premier events in the world, hope to see some more pics when people get rested up, I still haven't seen a picture of the whole facility , like from the flightline view,,

Jon, Andy Snow was correct in the prizes as they were given out.

Clover Creek officials were the decision makers on how the prizes were distributed and the question had been raised on Sunday but no clear reason or answer was given and they had already been distributed.

Your observation was noticed by many there.

Thats what I wanted to know thanks Chuck,

[flyin woodbutcher]

Damit Boyz, you both would be the best of friends if you meet at an event. Stop the chit right now.

Just a note, if you have never seen the movie Pay it Forward, I suggest you check it out.

Jason did just this... and so am I. I have many pattern friends that would love to fly an IMAC contest here and there near their house but don't own anything that qualifies.

With their help and team work and me passing on this opportunity to my friends, they too can experience an IMAC contest whenever they want.

This effort happens at every contest... in fact, Andrew Jesky ( who I never caught up with to say thank you) supplied the crimps to repair my tail wheel pull pull which broke in transport and not noticed until 30 mins before first round of which I was scribing for and was then the first pilot up.

Thanks Animal!

Jon Shroeder is a prime example of Pay it Forward, what an amazing man and mentor for many of our young talented IMAC pilots!!

Thanks to all the Clover Creek organizers and volunteers.

Pay it forward,

Chuck Hochhalter

I want mad at all,, just talking chit, just having fun, but I figured it would come across wrong, so I deleted it, I wish I could have got that plane, I think it is so cool that someone would in a way donate a plane and pass it down to someone,

Chuck,

Well said.
When I had engine troubles on Saturday Andrew was the first person out there asking me what I needed. We dragged the plane back to the RV and when we got there Tony Russo was already there with a new motor.
45 minutes later my plane was in the air again.

Great friends, great people.
