More,....

There where no scores posted today. I guess we'll be finding out the standings at the awards ceremony.
It was very busy day for all and the scoring crew is running on overload. There has been a ton of flying and Peter and Don are doing a great job of keeping things going.
Thanks for all your efforts!

This week has seen many mechanical issues. Ty had to replace his whole engine, and then didn't finish his unknown due to a mechanical issue with the 2nd engine. He got that worked out. Adam has had two deadsticks, and Kent Huntsinger has had to replace two outboard aileron servos. Peter is doing a great job with the contest, and hopefully we have a good finish tomorrow.

Alex's secret weapon can be seen in the pics.....

The weapon could not be beat. I tried, but came in second behind Alex. Way to go Alex!

Alex and I arrived home around 8:15 pm. We of course had a great time. Thanks to all that made it possible for Alex to bring home the WOOD! At 10:00 pm I was finally able to wedged his head from out of the truck. Just kidding. He has already found a home for the DX7 Spectrum radio system he recieved from David Moser. Thanks David. Wayne surprized him with a foamy kit. It has 2 foamy's in the box. Thanks Wayne. We really enjoy the IMAC trail. Can't wait until we get next season underway. Looking forward to seeing all our IMAC friends at the Jacksonville, FL. Flying and Judging Seminar. Until then, Wheels up!
