Delivered a plane to Wrightsville, AR yesterday for a friend and also flew in my first IMAC contes . It was a blast! Met a couple of other GSN members there. It was nice to put a face to a name, to bad my memory don't remember names to well. At he end of the day Iwas 8th out of 10 pilots which I don't think was to bad considering I haven't been able to fly for the last couple of weeks and it was my first contest. It helped that by the third round I wasn't shaking any more. I just wish the contests weren't so far away.I do have some pictures to put up later. We had a total of 23 pilots and we finished the 3rd round at 7pm.

It's awesome you got to fly and compete Mark. My son and I have actually considered giving IMAC a whirl. It looks really fun. There was a competiton here last Summer. I believe there is also one scheduled for next month about 80 miles from here. I think we may both go, if for nothing else but to watch.

Damn I'm hungry
And I can truly tell you "a better place" is home now. Life does not end here. Getting your mettle tested does:).
Peace Brother.

Teaching her how to fly RC. She is almost a commercial pilot now, but she has to learn RC ;). She is flying the new Sensei with WISE. Never had to take the controls except for take off and landing. It was even a 15 to 20 mph wind type of day.

I actually got to go flying today. :brian-banana:It was pretty windy, but my buddy Tony and I pretty much had the field to ourselves most of the time. It was nice to fly without the club politics.

There were two bad ass heli pilots there. I have no idea how they do the things they do. One was a former sponsored pilot and the other one flys for Synergy.
