This is Sean Saddler's refinished Rookie2. Flies like a bullet but looks weird on landing with the canards used for braking.

And - the big event of the day - the after-hours maiden of my Bandit ARF. Flew flawlessly, which is the best you can hope for. Just needs some balance adjustment and a few other tweaks. Many thanks to Sean and Patrick for your help, guys.

I believe that belongs to Paul Applebaum (spelling?) and it has a Wren 44 in it and I believe he scratch built it. I know where there is another one that Paul built and sold to a friend of mine that might be willing to sell it if you're interested in it. It has a ducted fan in it now but I think it could be converted over to turbine just as Paul has done.

We tried to get a picture of all the pilots who were flying this year. If we missed anyone then we do apologize. You must have been flying while I wasn't looking!

And I must give credit to my wife, Devi, who shoots most of these pictures.

Sitting on top of her dad's JR transmitter box. I've got an idea Issi could be the next female great pilot in the RC jet community.

Got home a couple of hours ago after the LONG drive home. Man what a perfect weekend. The SLRC club couldn't have hosted a finer event. Hats off to Patrick and Alec for a fantastic event. We defintely had a great time and the weather was absolutely perfect all weekend with the exception of the 20 minute down poor on saturday. I can't believe the amount of spectators that huddled under the tent and stuck out the rain. The field is in perfect shape and is most definitely a great place to fly. We made a lot of new friends this weekend and it was great to see everyone. Thanks to everyone from the SLRC club for your hospitality! Looking forward to next year...
