Hey Malcolm,

Thanks for posting the pictures. All of the planes are immaculate.

How was the weather? It's hard to believe that you guys are wearing jackets in July. Here in the American Midwest it was 103F (40C) this last weekend.

The previous weekend we had a regional constest in Chicago, and while it wasn't as prestigious as the triple Crown, it was also well attended by Contras. There were six in total. The pilots were myself, Dave Snow, Mike Gaishin, Bill Ahrens, Dan Landis, and Bobby Satalino. Dave, Dan & Bill all flew clipped 22x20s on the rear with a mix of clipped 22x20s and 22x22s on the front. It was impressive to watch these guys fly F13 on Sunday with this setup.

Here are some pictures.
