If you are in D7, and you didn't make it out for this contest in Sacramento, you missed a great one!
Incredible weather (especially considering I drove through Sacramento on Thursday and it was raining lions and hyenas) awesome cameraderie, and check out the evening's barbeque + live entertainment!
And no pattern contest evening is complete without some night flying! Here D7 VP Jon Carter does a low flyby with a T-28
And some impromptu 3D Freestyle with live accompaniment by Saxman Dave!

Finally, just a personal note the pattern community once again demonstrated that they are some of the greatest people in RC. When my Osiris crashed on landing and broke off a wing, snapped the wing tube and broke the rudder servo tray, it was just a few seconds before folks were offering me Epoxy, CA, a wing tube from the raffle prize Osiris, popsicle sticks and other plywood to enable me to repair the plane before my turn in round 2. Thanks all!
