G, there are so many folks to thank for their work to put this year's NATS together. If these people don't step up, the event doesn't happen. As it is now, the event runs with guys that have done this for a few years, know the drill, keep things moving and really keep things fun.

I had a few other "places" with non-kits. 8th F3j and 10th in Unlimited with a moldie, but the molds for that moldie sit in my basement. I guess I qualify as the only non ARF moldie on the field. 2M was 6th with an Aegea 2M with my own pod design. RES was 1st with a Bubble Dancer, but the pod
