Hi all,

I just want to say a big thank you to everybody that helped and supported me on my road to the Nationals this year. When I started this thread 2 years ago it's almost hard to believe that VF3 in the bones in the first post would carry me to the 09 Nats and win the concours and Nats wood. It's just an amazing journey and I am very proud that I may of inspired others to become better modelers.

I really enjoyed myself at this years Nats and enjoyed meeting all the new young guns, The Lampron boys - David Jr. and Dean. Riley Kissenberth, Edwin Manson, Houston and Brian. Those boys are all fine young men and have an unlimited future in RC Aerobatics. I really enjoyed having young Dean call for me for 3 rounds, we be the team of DEAN !!!!! The new young guns have great support from their dads. I've joked around about the "love fest" but it is real and it lives on site 4 at the nats. We had a great time, and shared a great experience.

I want to thank everybody that voted for my plane in the concours and all the nice comments about my plane. I also want to thank the Hesters for being great friends and providing the sport with such a fine aircraft. Also thanks to my local D3 crew for all the support.

It's time to start getting ready for 2010, back to gluing sticks and sanding primer.

cheers!

Dean
