Status: offline 		Well it was a pretty good day in all... Dave Norman took the top spot with the rest of us somewhere behind that.. Lots of zeros for some reason, cutouts, no starts, ect... The weather was perfect.. It was however, a rough day on the Dago's.. Super Splatter lost his to some bad air, I lost mine to bad thumbs.. Mines repairable I think but it won't be as pretty as it once was.. Of course, my swift show of talent was caught on video and I'm sure it will end up posted here.. All in all, a good day of racing..

The piston sleeve, case, rear bearing, spinner, needle asm. as well as the venturi survived, the crank is bent and the front bearing got a good sanding.

I made the dreaded mistake of following too closely on the same flight level. Got vortexed big time around 3

excellent day for a race, I was more careful with bullet #2 for the rest of the day

Sorry bout the air, the Dago you got from Lee was really hauling! Where'd you get that wood prop?

Status: offline 		That was a 2003 vintage DS-3. looks just like the stuff we buy now. I wish I'd had a CNC machine to wittle props, too bad I broke it on it's first landing, it was hauling the mail.

So.... when are we going back??? I'd run one if we could squeeze one in before the snow flies

How about everyone else, should we try one more Q40 race there this year?

Status: offline 		Yep, that was a sweet move on my part... I should have just let it go and I would have been fine but I was trying for that nice low run to #1.. Oh well, the thing didn't fly that good anyway...

I have another Dago that just needs a little paint so I don't have to use my Polecat yet.. I did fly it yesterday though, man it flies nice..
