That was quite a nice pic of Art Wagner getting a Very early morning flight in with his back to the rising sun and the moon in front of him...

I'm glad to see Mike Wickizer flying instead of just watching Brett, Mike should be getting better fast he's got a pretty good coach, LOL. Hats off to you Mike.

Steve:

You'll notice from the final placings I have quite a bit of room to improve. I actually won in the raffle what I felt to be the grand prize, a case of fuel...how fitting. I had a good time with good friends at a great contest and for this early in my flying I couldn't ask for any more.

Mike

I would also like to say a big THANK YOU to the Sparks club, Mark,Richard,Jim,Glen and everyone who helped with a great contest. The First place plaques with the stick plane attached make me wish I could be in contention for 1st someday. (it doesn't hurt to dream)

John F explained his objectives at a contest and as always he has a great attitude about it. After thinking about what he said I added #3 to his list.
1. Don't hurt anyone
2. Don't fly behind the judges line
3. Don't break the plane
4. Don't get any zeros
5. Have fun
I met all but 1 of the 5 objectives this weekend.
Maybe next time, if I can quit flopping my stallturns I can meet all 5

Congratulations Mark and Co. on a great contest. All those new faces in Sportsman can infuse a lot of energy into the event. I guess the primer really helped get a few guys over the first barrier. Keep up the good work.

Anyone going to Crowley, La on the 28th?
