Just wondering if anyone has heard anything. Must not be much to
report.
The official site has scores for the Martin Cup posted (pre event) and it
looks like Arendt Borst bested JW by a point or two.
Tom K was in the top 5, Phil Barnes did a really good job and Joe
Newcomb is up in there

I
have been following the comp, and supporting the Aussie team, naturally J
Carl Strautins has had three 1000s
and a 996.5, plus a compulsory dropped round and is in 8th place
after 5 rounds.
Cody Remington, your terrific junior
competitor, has only had one 1000 and some high
Gordy,
You're jumping the gun a bit giving final results ;)
There is still round 6 plus 2 rounds of finals before the Martin Cup
is done.

I just got back from another week at the Nats and want to share a few of my
thoughts. Nothing about who did what in which event, the ever-changing Muncie
weather, etc. but more about some of the background stuff.
AMA has provided a first class site. The field was in great shape and has
JT.
I echo your comments, all the volunteers did a great job. I would also like
to add one more name to the list. Don Richmond in addition to all the time
put into the news letter was also available to help anyone with virtually
any problem. My hardy thanks to all that put the running of the Nat's
Cody Remington was also in the Top 10. 2 of the juniors were in the
Top 10. I had Cody on my Team during the trials. A very good stick.
Joe Newcombe has eagle eyes. I wish I still had them. Jim Monaco was
in the 25th 26th spot. He is the team manager. By the scores the
competion is very
I just saw the final results
Joe Wurts 1st
Cody Remington 2nd (Junior)
Joe Newcomb 4th (Junior)
Arend Borst 11th Canada
Tom Kesing 12th It looks like he had a bad final round.
With 2 juniors in the top 5 the world will have a tough time in the future

Hi Folks !
I spent the week at the Nats. without my trusty Lil Black Cronos Stop Watch.
as it turns out, it has been liberated from my possession. (OUCH)
the Radio Shack variety of stop watches just do not get it.
I need Links or contacts as to acquiring a replacement.
TIA

Much like Jim, here I sit on Sunday AM, and am pretty much wiped out. I

everything in their world, even in stock events, but still tried anyway.
It has gotten very hot here since yesterday and that with the fact that the

Speaking for myself and probably all the other flyers attending the Nats,
those of us that enjoy competition at the Nats level are very lucky you are
there, Directing and working the flight line year after year.
Here is a big thank you for your part in the Nats.

Marc,
We have had our differences, but if anyone attacks you for your
commitment
to your job their a fool! As for your lack of attention to the Nat's during
that time, WTF you were their and did one H#!! of a job!!! You have
absolutely nothing to apologize for.
As for NOS, I think the

Just a few more thoughts on the Nats. I agree with everything Jim
and Marc said. This was the smoothest Nats I have attended and I
have been to a lot of them. I flew my first Nats at the old SOAR
Nats in 1974 and have not missed one since except when my job
prevented me from getting off
Here are some more, less notable, but still interesting observations from
the 2006 NATS:
* Neat experiment - attempts at HLG-sized XC. Looks like both fun and a
challenge. Next time why not resort to the round-the-AMA property course
used by the scale guys?
* Wretched excess - A Piccalario
And so will my next club contest since Cody and Joseph are both members of RMSA!

Just a couple of comments from Chucks post.
First, the landing spot was dangerously close to the safety line. There
is no reason for the spot to be closer than 25 feet from the safety line.
The distance use to be more and had been shortened a number of years ago,

I would take note that the Organic was the 2m ship prior to this year. At
the Nats, there has never been any ship with greater numbers than the 2M
Duck. The Organic in many areas holds sway cause of it's availablility, and
it is a decent ship, but Ducks have always had the numbers
Marc,
You did good. No need to feel badly as you have a lot of talented folks helping
out.
I missed NOS but having a full day to RES was a good pay off. I have been
waiting years for it.
Maybe we can have NOS on alternate years to replace XC and scale? Although I'd
love to see XC every year
Marc,
I haven't given any thought about what problems the following idea might
create, but I can give a whole list of problems it will solve:
LSF stand on it's own four thousand plus feet and hold it's own Nationals
... create it's own event schedule ... the way it use to be before it went

I've got a NIB Super V 2M Kit I'd consider selling. It comes with spyder
foam cores, glass fuse, carbon and FG to bag everything. This is/was the
hottest 2M of its time.
I'd consider bagging the wing and tail for you but I can't guarantee how
long it would take me to get it done.

I can tell you last week was a bummer for me as it was the first nats I missed in a long time. Reading the various reports is both good and bad, good because the team sounds like they did their normal fantastic job and bad because of the envy I have for the people who were there and I wasn't.

I think many of you are missing the essence of Daryl's win at this year's Nats.
Yes, he was flying a borrowed Duck, and he won. Does this say anything about
the plane? No! The only thing that it proved is that it was strong enough to
survive the edge of the envelope style of flying that DP
Ask Don Stackhouse about why a Duck works. It will fry his cork. Actually,
Mr Reynolds gets very happy with a Duck, and the empty weight is only about
40 ounces and some even less. I think that it fools the air into thinking
it is something that is much larger. And yes, a complete Duck

Another way to look at it is if you throw enough ducks at a problem,
you'll find one that works. I'm happy that everyone else likes to fly
Ducks.

Gordy gets it part right (again).
The Hi Johnson trophy is an AMA award for the highest single score at
the Soaring Nats. AMA used to run the events with all classes flown
each day (you built a 2M, 100 and an unlimited plane every day) and
flew a couple rounds of each class daily. This resulted
