The Dick Coles Memorial "Big Bird" is over after 3 days and I averaged shooting about 30 minutes of video each of the 3 days. Link for vids is here. None of me flying but some pretty good stuff including the big 15 foot wingspan Decathlon flown by Gene Payson of Troy Built Models. http://www.manatee-rc.com/Flight/DCM09.html

 

Since nothing I own falls within the IMAA specifications (80" wing) I was limited on flights I could make. But, the noon time "electric jet demos" were well received by the spectators and most of the pilots. I could hear a nice round of applause when I'd land. (Who knows, maybe they were just glad I was out of the air. <g>)

Anyways... I had a good time. Now it's time to go back to work and recuperate from this long weekend of flying/shooting video all day and processing movies all night.
