Yep, Dan and Dave ARE nice guys, know them both, and enjoy watching them fly.

Guess I'm one of the guys you'll have to beat, because I decided to move up to Advanced this year (go easy on an old man!).

I do hope you make Muncie this year, I'd like to meet you. There is a possibility that I might make the Chicagoland, I'll let you know.

I fly a Great Planes 330L pulled by a BME 102 controlled by a Futaba Super8 transmitter, talking to twin Multiplex receivers, controlling Hitec 5945 servos (formerly JR 8411s). The plane weighs just under 24 pounds, now that I have removed the rarely used smoke system. One thing I like about the plane (other than its flight characteristics) is that I don't see many of them. It's funny to be told that even though it has the size, it's only a good "sport" plane, that one needs a "Whiz Bang Super 680" for serious contest work (guess at $325 for the kit, it didn't cost enough money!). I finished in front of some Super 680s with my Hangar 9 Cap, and I finished in front of many of them with my Plain Jane 330L. You've taken your Cap and done the same thing! My feeling is that regardless of what plane you have, you've STILL gotta fly it, right? Pics and a short flight video are here: MY PLANE
