RE: Nats warmup May 21 and 22 Muncie
Hey AC great having you on our side!!!!!! Really great flying man. It's fun to watch.Yes D5 showed up and made a statement!!!!
Top 5 things I learned
Mode 1 flyers rock!!!! ( 4 reps this weekend!!)
Show Me's is a good place to go for beer and sight seeing.
There's a lot of talented fliers in the midwest. Add Andrew to that mix when he flys hereand it gets reallytough too
Teaching a newbie 12 year old the ropes is more fun than I can even explain. Thanks Brandon now known as SobiJesky
Gasis$.75 a gallon cheaper in Munchie than where I live in Crook County
We have a pretty good schedule for this year with enough to keep everyone on there toes.
Also learned thatmastering all the nuance's of a new plane can be painful and hard work but as Mark Atwood put it. Sometimes you have to take a step back to go forward
Good times great flying best site in the world fantastic weather good friends. Good stuff! M²

Mike how did everyone do? Especially the Venus II in Sportsman!
And how did the new version of the Contra Drive sound compared to last years weedwacker with a bad bearing. Wish i could have been there but work is insane this year, Good News is i am making some money. Bad news is my flying has been severly hampered.

From what I could see, whenever the Contra was flying with an inrunner also in the air, the inrunner was the noisier plane. There is no "bark" to speak of, and you can only tell that a Contra is flying if you purposefully listen for it. The sound is still different, but not louder than many other electrics.

Venus II's in Sportsman finished first and second. Both powered by OS120AX. We really just ran away from the pack.
Some of my photos, all from Saturday
dang, my bald spot isn't getting any smaller....
