The 27th annual Sun Valley Fliers
The 27th annual Sun Valley Fliers R/C Championships is now in the books. With 32 entrees from US, Canada and Mexico. We had 3 people from Canada and one constant came from North Carolina another came from Mexico. Our weather was perfect on Saturday while we had a little sprinkle on Sunday morning. The winds were light both days, the pattern Gods smiled upon use.The SVF had a great showing with Robert Beaudien took 2nd in Sportsman, in Advanced our Ken Melbye took 1st, Brad Schrimsher took 3rd in advanced, in masters Rusty Fried took 2nd, in FAI Troy Newman took 2nd while Greg Froreich took 4th.
I tried something new. We offered all classes 6 rounds plus 2 rounds of FAI F09. Of the 6 guys in FAI 4 wanted to fly F09, the 4 flew the first round. Something happened and the rest of the FAI guys wanted to fly F09. So they agreed no to fly the sixth round of P09 and made it a 5 round contest then they all flew the second round of “F”.
We had a great Saturday after flying BBQ. We served hot pizza for lunch on Saturday and sub sandwich for lunch on Sunday. With coffee and donuts in the morning, if any one went starved it was there own fault.
Horizon Hobbies gave the club a DX7 radio and JR hats as prizes, Bob of Smart Fly donated 7 high quality regulators. We had some NSRCA dvd’s and 2007 team shirts we used a prizes. Everyone got a prize.
