That's pretty good, give yourself a big slap on the back. I belonged to three clubs and they at one time were very much into fun fly events. I got into them all but always got my clock cleaned. At last I one an event flying against some young kids and was being cheered on by all the old folks, even there parents. That event I won the beginners class and my instructor won the advanced, that made it even better for me. Your lucky to have saved the plane!! Most events have a number of planes in the trash can at the end of the event.
What else can you do?? We had the ring of death. It was a trampoline ring we set upright. You first had to do a full power flight through the ring. As the contest went on things got harder, inverted through the ring, full throttle through the ring then pull a loop and go through it again. It just kept getting dumber and dumber until there was a winner.
I have a photo someone caught just right of a planes fuse flying through the ring with the wings hanging onto the side of the ring. Things did get a little nuts.
I like the sound of some of your events, love the idea of the blind draw stunt cards!!
I really really miss fun fly's!!!
