and... don't mess with Mike H.'s plane either. On take-off both planes met. Rick's plane was battle scarred... but flew again. The aftermath of linking up with an 8X8 APC.

Our adversaries. That sounds awful. They are Friendversaries.

Yes, Bruce can count. What I am amazed is, @Frank v B was able to place the photos from today in the post in proper sequence. Thanks for the ride to and from Frank.

The Orangeville gang was a lot of fun.

Over all I was very impressed with our TEMAC representatives showing at the race.

While volunteering to keep time and count laps for Frank, I felt like the batteries were almost dead in the stop watch and rather than having to turn the lap cards as he passed each time in front of me, I felt like I was turning the page of calendar. (As Frank advised, you don't have to fly fast to do well, and he was certainly proof of it.)

Very impressive coordination of Greg's beard and fur hat trim. The colour match is amazing, and even the subtle highlights are true! Way to go Greg!!

@sihinch and @Polecat

I thoroughly enjoyed the day and races.

Simon, I was advised by many that the tree you were known for frequenting had been removed for your benefit.

Being a timer and lap counter at this event, I was impressed with how consistent SOME of the competitors were with their heat times. In a number of instances competitors posted identical times to just a second or two difference in the 4 heats they ran in. (I don't want to say this, but Frank was the most inconsistent time-wise, but had the greatest improvement from his first heat to his last - the way I saw it anyhow.)

To get to your inquiries: At this time I am undecided about purchasing one until I find out more about the activity.

Ken, is there any link or information I and others could review that provides details about the airplane types, restrictions, etc.?

Many thanks for a great day and introduction to the event (except for the weather).

Hey Guys,

Certainly was a fun day. The weather held off until we finished all the heats and more importantly No major crashes!
With the exception of me playing catch with an EF1 racer, everything was good.
I would like to share a few photo's of the days events. Please note Mike finessing his model for the next race, He used those sheet metal shears with the delicate skill of a surgeon with a scalpel!

The Invictus sets to low to the ground and the back of the fuselage bottom is setting in the grass, causing drag. Mike needs a taller landing gear. I will look after that, have some in stock. @thehaze
