It was a busy weekend, full of work for me.\u00a0 Of course, working at flying is better than other kinds of work!\u00a0 I had some bad luck and some good luck.\u00a0 After 3 dismal flights in Phantom Flash, I finally had victory in my sites as flight #4 of PF #4 was certain to produce a max.\u00a0 With two more flights left, I was hopeful.\u00a0 But it was not to be. Flight 4 went OOS at 4:30 and my backup plane was not in good shape.<\/p>\n
I did win the Cloud Tramp Mass Launch and the Watson Challenge.\u00a0 The Watson Challenge is a McCook Squadron event:\u00a0 any plane, best 2 of 3 flights – but you MUST use a 24″ strand of 1\/8″ supplied by the Contest Director.\u00a0 I put it in my little Pacific Ace Junior and flew to victory.<\/p>\n
I also came home with 4- 3rds and 3- 2nds.\u00a0 The best of those was in Embryo.\u00a0 I got 3rd place with my brand new Tomahawk model, beating several others and only losing to Free Flight giants: Ted Allebone (2nd) and Herb Kothe (1st).<\/p>\n
