2009 Tangerines
 

I hate to say it, but in typical FL fashion, it was in the high 70's and hardly a cloud in the sky... :D But all was not perfect today. I saw 2 QM's in pieces (I know Rusty hit a tree around 1) and don't know what happened to the other. Looks like it's going to be a great contest. Here are some shots.

RE: 2009 Tangerines
 

Lots of great flying today and quite a few test/trim flights.

RE: 2009 Tangerines
 

Great pics Jason. The other crashed Q40 looked like Tom Scotts. Are you racing or just playing photographer?

RE: 2009 Tangerines
 

Hello everyone. Someone has a complete Q40 model complete (engine,
servos, model) for sale? And if somebody have it how much are with costs to Italy?
Thank you.
Cg.

RE: 2009 Tangerines
 

This mornings 8 o'clock start time was pushed back just about 2 hours. The fog welcomed us this morning, but at times, the pilots could see enough to get a practice flight or 2 in. Some pilots used the time to wake-up some more...lol.

RE: 2009 Tangerines
 

Some plane pics...

RE: 2009 Tangerines
 

more planes...

RE: 2009 Tangerines
 

Randy (or his father) has too much time to be doing this on a Quickie... and what better way to 'scheme' your Q-40... daughters (I think) artwork.

RE: 2009 Tangerines
 

I'm havin' a blast with this being my first race. Looking forward for more fun tomorrow.

RE: 2009 Tangerines
 

Jr hardly working, 424 winners and scores, 428 winners and scores and top 3 with planes. Jr and the Apopka crew did a great job today and look to be able to maybe get 6 rounds of QM in tomorrow. We'll see. Thank you Gary Freeman Sr for calling and letting me borrow the 'Monokote Queen' again with the 'ingesting' SS...lol. Maybe it's a good thing the plug was dead the last round.

RE: 2009 Tangerines
 

From the scores it looks like Grunk must have lost to Randy in the last heat when his low 1:04 wasn't good enough.

Wow.

RE: 2009 Tangerines
 

Good Show James Barr!

RE: 2009 Tangerines
 

That was one of the last heats and was basically the fly-off for first. It was a GREAT race. I forgot to get a pic of Grunks gear after he clipped 3 and ripped it off with no other issues. He fixed the plate and put it back on to fly again.

RE: 2009 Tangerines
 

Thank you JAS for these great reports.
Claude.

RE: 2009 Tangerines
 

Thankyou Jason for a GREAT report. It's cool to see whats happening day to day..........Thanks again

P.S. Tell Dennis OB. I said "duh- huh". I was really looking forward to
seeing him there , but just wasn't prepared. I hope he comes to Mike's.

RE: 2009 Tangerines
 

Congrats to Randy (WC) for winning the entire contest... you the man ... Grunk, you the best loser, way to go.... maybe next time.

Jason... post some more pics soon ... we are all waiting..

Wish that the Green Giant and I could have been there, maybe next year ...

RE: 2009 Tangerines
 

There were many great races, both in 422 and 424. Randy won and fast time again, Jr was 2nd and Tom Scott won the fly-off with Stephan Vaclav. James Barr won 424 again. Pics and full results a bit later.

RE: 2009 Tangerines
 

Thank you to all participants, workers and spectators that showed up for the Cliff Telford Memorial, I appreciate all of your efforts to promote the sport, the RCACF and modeling in general!

RE: 2009 Tangerines
 

Here are a few of the planes. I didn't get down the line to take pics of all of them as I stayed on the starting line to help the pilots that landed short get their planes. As you can see, Grunk didn't want to completely block out the sun with his plane so it's a bit translucent...lol.

RE: 2009 Tangerines
 

One of the benefits of being on the line was I could get a few more action shots.

RE: 2009 Tangerines
 

424 also raced and put on many of the best races all weekend. Can't beat an equal playing field. Random tach tests were done after the morning test. Pinch is not allowed to peak above 16.5

RE: 2009 Tangerines
 

I had to delete more of the flying shots as all I managed to capture was the blue sky. Here's 3 that had a plane or 2 in them.

RE: 2009 Tangerines
 

424 results and top 3, fast time

RE: 2009 Tangerines
 

422 results, top 3/fast time, the trophies that were handed out, Randy's 1st place and Worlds trophy. It was great to have Nancy Telford out there Saturday and Sunday watching and helping.

RE: 2009 Tangerines
 

Nice shots Jason, especially dig the "Vortex Yawn shot" [X(]
