The MVRC Fall Fun Fly was enjoyed
by a stalwart and skilled group of flyers who took on the contest
and challenged the cool and windy weather. There were no real bad
mishaps during the events (a couple of dings during the warm-ups)
except that Randy, who traditionally adds a lot of thrilling
excitement to some of the events had an unfortunate rough landing in
the weeds and was unable to fly the remainder of the events. He
continued in the day's activities giving sage advice to the old
timers and offered a critical eye in the judging. The mean easterly
crosswinds made it equally challenging if the pilots approached from
the north or from the south. In scoring of points in the demanding
events, the flying skills demonstrated by all of the pilots were
truly commendable and showed a high level of expertise and
safety. Everyone involved in putting on the event and in
participating should be recognized in making this a real great fun
fly event. Winners in the Expert Class were: Mike Robin, John Berk, and Hal Brothers; in that order. Standard Class winner was Larry Eilers. Novice Class winner was Logan Noess, a new 14 year old whiz kid. Gary Buddensiek was the Contest Director, and Tom Barron the Food Service Provider. |
