Gordy,
I too look forward to flying the Easy Glider as a step up from the Easy
Star in the near future. I am on my 4th Easy Star, one of which I added
flaps and ailerons. I love the Easy Star as a trainer plane for all
stages of a pilot's development as it minimizes the burden on the pocket

It is now groundhog day #4...
We do have wi-fi access at the field here, and I have a laptop, so I can do
some emails occasionally. It is now Thursday morning, just before the start of
duration for round #5.
The US team has had some challenges this year. Round four yesterday was

Easy to say when you don't play the game... fly UNL / 2m / RES or a F3x
event at Nats and show us were you rank amongst us, and then tell me it has
no real bearing.
I'd be pumping up the masses for the scale X/C event next year if I were

Awesome slope sites, lots of pilots, friendly fun flying get together, and

I think it would be cool if the RES competition could have an entire day to

Anyone else here think that would be a good idea?

This happened after his scorecard was handed in. He realized what had
happened when he put his plane away then came to scoring and had it corrected.

Bill,
Good point, but if you could feasably hold the Nats in the big CA, there
would be 300+ pilots entered too, you definatley have the concentrated numbers.
That comparison is kind of apples/oranges comparison in my book. But yes,
Visalia is "the" weekend party of RC soaring in the US,
One other point:
The NATS had ~150 participants. While Visalia consistently has to limit
there entrants to 300.
Visalia gets my vote!

Al my friend, some may disagree, but I feel confident in saying the best
soaring experience is VISALIA.
Good air, great people and somewhat bizarre landing tasks. Sometimes even
unique entertainment like an Elvis impersonator or a potato gun or nite
E-Zagi flying.
Plus, you'll be reasonably close
John,
Just a short note to straighten up some numbers you used. Soaring had 153
regisitered pilots and 408 total entries for the Nats(2.3 entries/pilot).
Electric looks more like what you are talking about than soaring and the AMA
takes notice that we have the second or third largest group
I'm missing something here. The Nats is the national championship because we
say it is. Why do we want to thow the baby out with the bathwater. If you

I've done some web searches, but I'm just curious where to by this for

that's a bit pricey. Any suggestions would be welcome.

I don't know Cal. I see many new fliers starting competition with an RES
plane. Usually a 3 meter RES.
It makes more sense to start someone out on a 3 Meter RES than a 2 Meter
full house.
Afterall this is the National competition. You should not be there if you
only have a few flights on
Don't you think that the pilots that landed out in Unlimited on the 1st day
treated the second day as a "fun fly"? It was for me. (There is no
dropout round.)
When your not competing in the top 20 it's just a "fun fly". If you would
take a poll, most pilots would say, "I'm here to have fun"
Woodcrafters is very limited. Wood built up planes only. No Duo Discus'
allowed. No Ava, no Soprano, no Supra, etc.
