SKILLS CHALLENGE 2012!!

Ededge2002 · September 29, 2012, 05:11:03 PM

There is no event posting for this yet? Possibly the most participated and from what I heard from last years event the most fun event of the season? Well I can fix THAT!

SO??

Who is coming and who is going?

Any secret plan of attack that your thinking?

Nevermind the rain its not coming. I know people.

My initial plan is to do each event with a selected plane BUT I might just try to do them ALL WITH JUST ONE MODEL!! That WOULD kick up the CHALLENGE part wouldnt it? I will likely go back to the origional plan just because I want to kick ass though!

any Challengers out there going to challenge my run for top challenger? (that is a lot of challenges)

I've spent the last 48hrs prepping my planes - waxing them down, smoothing the surfaces (and buggering up my radio!) just to beat you, Ed.

I want that Calendar cover page!

Currently I am working on unlearning what I have learned. Which shouldn't take too long.

Myelin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Myelin is a dielectric (electrically insulating) material that forms a layer, the myelin sheath, usually around only the axon of a neuron. It is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system. Myelin is an outgrowth of a type of glial cell. The production of the myelin sheath is called myelination. In humans, the production of myelin begins in the fourteenth week of fetal development, although little myelin exists in the brain at the time of birth. During infancy, myelination occurs quickly and continues through the adolescent stages of life.

So what your saying is that your insulated from us? Yea right thats right we cant get you because your insulated. (look at him he thinks we cant get him) Its that OR he has created some SUPER BATTERY! If that is the case were SCREWED!

A giant thank you to Jack (and everyone who helped) for another fantastic event.

It was fun; smiles everywhere.

... and no major crashes nor safety issues! Well done!

I still can't believe what luck we had with the weather!

I agree Michael. Great time even though I had to let a couple of the others win some of the events. Top notch. Hell it's TEMAC!

I could not fly but I had a lot of fun watching everyone and especially because I won a $30 gift card to Pinnacle!

I really wish I could've come but I didn't have a ride. I'll be there on weekends though if an instructor is going to be there.
