Just got tomorrow's Unknown.
Its the same geometry as the Invitational Unknown for tomorrow (except for the 45's on their Hammerheads) with different elements on some figures.
Ours is 422K and theirs is 471K
Tailslide! Whats that? Haven't done those in years. Wheels down or up?

Thanks Wayne and co. for keeping us posted. It's hard enough to concentrate on your flying let alone answer a billion questions.
Seth sorry about the wing thing. I'm sure you seen the picture Hubb took. It looks so wrong.

I have been asked to post some about the sportsman class. I don't look at the scores, so that makes it tough. Everyone seems to be flying well. The unknown today was pretty standard. We flew 1 unknown and 2 knowns. There is almost no way to describe the field at Johns. Simply amazing. The dinner last night was shrimp, scallops, pork tenderloin, and some more. The contest is being run very well. 2 minute rule, 1 minute rule, all in affect.

Thanks to everyone for keeping up with this. Please don't miss it in two years!

Clover Creek sounds really cool.
A True old school TOC with the lower classes there as well. Man what a cool adventure. I bet the flying is just top notch.
Keep the updates coming.
