This weekend is the Tullahoma Contest, and since there are only light duty
contest pilots down there we sent our back up to our back up pilot, LSF5 Ed
Wilson (LASS Club President).
I begged him to go easy on those guys from Tn and AL because I know how
sensitive they are...Fly'n Brian Smith, Herb, Kendal, Jon..... :-)
So while he took his secret weapon (I pity those of you TD open class guys
who don't know about this plane!) the Evolution from Isthmus Models and his
Southern Kite RES ship...(about 30 year old balsa kit) and managed to hurt a
bunch of them anyway.
Congrats to Kendal winning Open and Jon Stone taking second, but a huge Louisville proud atta boy from his club kinfolk for taking third in Open and second in RES...tomorrows another day and I scolded him to lighten up some....more :-) I heard it was great weather and some challenging tasks...the landings were
two circles one in side the other. In or out. LSF1 landing task diameter for the
big one and LSF2 inside it, located at its bottom. Big landing point was
only 30 so you HAD to get times today to get wood...however like most TD
contests good landings really did help...
For instance if you hit a car, or smash into the crapper, chances for wood
today was gonna be pretty much impossible!
Wish I could have been there, I let a lot of pilots down because apparently
the AMA now has an official gold badge that says, "I Beat Gordy, but not
Butch".
More news tomorrow!
