I'm hoping for a much better season than 2020 which found all but a few contests cancelled due to the pandemic. The first contest of 2021 found two RV pilots among the contestants. Mike Lopez has been tutored by Intermediate RV competitor, Bill McLean and Bill even loaned Mike his RV-4 to compete in his very first contest. Mike was headed for a first or second finish in the Primary category after two flights with an average score of 80.1% but a cracked aileron hinge grounded the plane and Mike had to sit out the third flight. Bummer.
Randy King, flying his fine looking RV-8 finished fifth of six contestants in the Sportsman category. All six competitors finished with scores within 8%. Sportsman has become a very competitive category and we see everything from Cubs to Extras. Getting beat by an Extra is no shame but beating an Extra is the ultimate source of pride, not to mention bragging rights! Keep your eyes on Randy. He has a few Extras in his sights. (I should mention that Jerry Esquenazi finished first in the Intermediate category but left his RV-8 at home and flew his new Extra 300S. Check six Jerry! Randy is targeting you.)
