Matt,

That's great news...

RE: Contest Reminder (Houston, TX) May, 2nd - 3rd
 

Hi Glen,

I think the Lake Chuck crew (Eddie, Mike P and I) will all be there (Matthew is competing in his first full scale aerobatic competition this weekend) ...it may not be pretty...the winds and rain have kept us away from the practice field. But we'll be there for the fun and fellowship anyway.

George,

Yea the winds here have been rough this preseason as well. Practice has been a bit dicey at times.

Looking forward to seeing you and the Lake Chuck crew this weekend.

All who plan to attend this weekend's event....this is the final call to pre-register...

Weather forecast is looking good, 21 pilots confirmed so far.

RE: Contest Reminder (Houston, TX) May, 2nd - 3rd
 

There's a rumor that some kid from Austin is going to show up. Trying to confirm now.

RE: Contest Reminder (Houston, TX) May, 2nd - 3rd
 

I heard that same rumor last weekend at the Kingsbury IMAC contest. Hopefully it is true...

I was planning on going this year until I realize that my spinner from central hobbies is still back ordered... The spinner I have now is so bent up that it vibrates entirely too much to compete with. I had a blast last year though. Good luck to everyone this year!

RE: Contest Reminder (Houston, TX) May, 2nd - 3rd
 

Looks like I'll be working Saturday because two people quit at work and left us
short handed. I'll see you all on Sunday just to visit. Good luck everyone.

Chris

Looks like a great turn out.

Arch

RE: Contest Reminder (Houston, TX) May, 2nd - 3rd
 

Chris,

What size do you need? What prop size do you use? I have several TRU-Turns collecting dust in my shop. I'll bring a couple tomorrow in case you change your mind.

RE: Contest Reminder (Houston, TX) May, 2nd - 3rd
 

A few photos from Friday afternoon practice...

RE: Contest Reminder (Houston, TX) May, 2nd - 3rd
 

Looks like I'll be there then! Gosh...I haven't practiced in so long though. Last time I flew was back in early March. Been real busy with school and diving competitions. Should be fun though.

Hey Guys, I hate I missed this one, it was great last year. How bout an early update?
