You never know - maybe this year will be the year for the 30 and 40-somethings, lol! I'd be happy with another top 5 finish, but if not I know I will have fun anyway. If you make the final cut and I don't can I be ur pit bi+ch?

BTW, why aren't the scores for this contest up on mini-iac yet? It usually only takes a day or two..

Does anyone from this contest have an email address for Bert Sutton?
We lost contact with him and would like to get in touch again.
Send me a PM or email if you do.

Thanks
BSM

You should know by now Bacosa, you are never supposed to fly as well as you did in practice. You practice practice practice, and then you fly about 75 % as well as your practice....... well that is the way I do it anyway........

Nick, the way you handle a drill and x-acto knife, you can be my pit bi+ch any time. Even if you make the top 5 and I don't, I'll be your......um guy that stands around and watches you work on things......sometimes there is just a natural order to things ya know...... That is what I do best.....

I don't ever remember it taking a week to get scores posted to the IMAC website - I hope I didn't make that 1200 mile trip for nothing...

You and Bill will be neck and neck with the regional points after your win. I hope they get those scores posted. I am interested to see how Andrew got 3rd in Sportsman.

Of course its a torque wrench. I used it the first time, how do you think I know I torqued them to 100 inch pounds and stretched the bolts so they could come loose and shear so I could have me a nice carbon propeller souvenir to bring home from Fort Collins.

BTW everyone you are welcome for the Mejlik propeller test to see how strong they are and how much abuse they can take and still stay together on a piped DA 150.

Todd Bridges and/or possibly Pedro Brantuas will likely be ahead of us after this weekend in Camarillo, being that our points for the love-air are not up yet.

Sorry the posting of the Love-Air IMAC Championship results has taken so long, guys. Through misunderstandings on my part, I've gone through several unsuccessful cycles of trying to email results to Roy. I think I've got it right now, though. SW points should be up soon.
Thanks to all who made the trip. You helped make our event a success.

I have uploaded videos of both rounds of freestyle for each pilot on YouTube. Nick only flew the first round on Sat.

]Enjoy.

Nick Radle: There's no music because YT blocked it for copyright violation. I think it's because he used a whole song and not clips.
