First, a huge shoutout to Karl for finishing first at Apple Valley with a tremendous 82.57%. Terrific job Karl.
Let me start out apologizing for my rotated images. I don't know why TinyPic is doing this. I'm going to change the site I use for image hosting.
We just finished our contest here in Sebring, FL. I will be attending Sebring's First Class awards banquet shortly. We had a good showing in Sportsman with 12 competitors, but there is something wrong with this picture:
I'm the only RV here!
Here's the lineup. A lot of strong competitors here with some very capable airplanes:
Wayne does an impressive job with this Super D. I've been pulling at his coat tails since I started this competition stuff.
Pat "Richard" Anderson was on fire with his Pitts!
This was my closest competition, Ken L in a Giles 202 and Shaun B in Patty Wagstaff's old fire breathing Extra:
Peter Nassar with his gorgeous RV-7 came for a visit. I first met him at the Snowbird Classic contest in Dunnellon, FL. He intended on competing, but couldn't make it due to weather.
Who says the RV can't be competitive?! I finished 3rd on the 3rd flight and 5th overall. We were all very strong. I was very pleased with my performance and received a lot of great compliments from people that were impressed/surprised with the RV's capability.
Here's a typical scoresheet with some great comments. It's what you do with those scores and comments on the next flight is what matters.
I'm really hoping to see some more RV's out there competing. This is a ton of fun, will make you a better pilot, and the camaraderie is fantastic!
