Default Wings & Wheels Model Spectacular 2013

Kicking myself for not getting in my pilot application early and even more after a great day at the event, but did get a press pass on the promise I'd take some video.

Thanks Dom. Actually it was supposed to be a MacGregor JR DMSS slot, but seemed to end up a free for all by the end of the weekend
Big Pitts had motor issues Sunday, Steve Carr's Extra and others had "issues" too.

Unbelievable video??????? Why in the world would the flash and boomerang be landing and taking off/flying a downwind pattern?

The wind was almost 90 degrees, at take off. By landing it was more from the right...hence I landed from the left. I guess they didn't notice, decided to land up hill etc...

A pilot adapting there landing direction due to change in conditions during the flight. [X(]

I've seen a lot of very experienced pilots not do that.

Thanks for all the vids Dom. I for one really appreciate the effort that you video guys put in, and for me it means loads to be able to look back and watch these video in a few years.
I only wish the weather could have been a little more cooperative.
Regards Al
