Thanks to everyone that turned out!

We had 32 pilots total. Great turnout. The weather was a bit dicey on Saturday with fairly strong winds in the afternoon but Sunday was a beautiful day. We were able to get the flights going early on Sunday due to overcast skies in the morning. That helped us finish up all six rounds before 2pm.

Each class had some very good competition. It was great to see a battle in Sportsman which came down to the wire! The competition in the FAI and "FAI Silver" classes was also very tight. The FAI Silver class, flying P15, was well attended with 5 pilots and standard Masters had 7 pilots. I like the FAI Silver class concept and it makes running a contest much easier. It is tough if 12 of 32 pilots are all in the same Masters class... Instead, we were able to keep the flight lines and judging rotations moving smoothly.

Now, on to the scores:


Thanks to Mike & Jean for the scoring setup and entry and also Randy McElhattan, Robert Fish and Don Fox for score entry.
