Previously in this thread: Mayor Glover (of gloverville) and dogcatcher Steve never bring chairs to the flight-line again! JoJo, if you come back to the NATS you MUST fly every flight with the TX in your hand... no more letting the plane thermal itself for 6-7 minutes... it's not championship

Careful Mike, you're going to ruin your reputation as a fun guy! For the record, at the request of launch-meister and grad wazoo of the flight line, Jim Thomas, I brought the chairs to the flight line. That's my smiling face with the stop watch in the pix. Happily, both of these fine guys

Take a look at this picture. Shows the 2nd place pilot in unlimited flying his 6-servo plane during the heat and intensity of the Unlimited contest at the NATS this month. http://www.knology.net/~jstone/nats/dp.jpg Looks pretty intense to me. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane

Hmm... according to Mr. Stump, those who fly RES are only there to get their chance at the podium - fliers eager for a scrap of the fleeting fame that comes from getting wood'. What does that say about the Nostalgia fliers? Sorry, Mike, some of us still enjoy the challenge of 3 channel

I thought RES was rather challenging, I had one little OOPS in the morning and I was down to 14th. Just like any other class at the Nats, get all of your times and good landings consistently... P.S. I have to say I was having a BLAST flying my new Soprano, it's first flights were in Muncie.
