G I fly in sportsman. As far as the conditions. Well can u say miserable. FR winds gust to 24 90 degree crosswind. Sat. winds gust to 20 30 degree cross wind out of the Northwest. Sun wind gust to 20 30 degree cross wind from the Northeast.
SO boy did you have to work to fly a strait line not to mention landing your airplane.

As far as the event . 64 pilots showed up 23 in sportsman . that made for some slow going. But the prizes and camaraderie made it well worth the trip . This year chip Hyde was here competing and doing all the wild fling he is known for. I do want to make a point to thank him and all the sponsors that made all the prizes possible .Chip went out of his way to give an airplane to a young pilot who really needed some help. KUDOS CHIP ! Bob Saddler was also present providing us with some witty entertainment. The hardest thing to deal with was the cold, it was 39 degrees on Sunday morning and at one O'clock it hadn't broken 50.

this year i didn't do well but there's next year.... and i came home with my plane in one piece.
