Agilefalcon Veteran Location: Fort Worth, Texas
| Hi everyone. Thanks indeed for coming to everyone. For some reason, the heat got to everyone, myself included. It was all I could do to clean up the field before going home. All of us were completely exhausted. Next year we'll make changes for when everyone eats (the pilot's meal will be at lunch rather than the evening, and the evening meal will start earlier).
A huge thanks to Will, Bryce, Justin, Lori for sticking it out. Thanks to Ron Lund (Heliproz South), Bobby Sellers (BobbyJacks), and Dan Goldstein (MRC) for the gift certificates, donations and great prices for our gifts to the pilots.
I'm pretty sure that next year Dylan will make it through the tent unharmed! But, to make it fair to him, we should sweeten the pot so that if he doesn't make it, he gets something for having the balls to try it..
Thanks to the local flyers for coming and showing their stuff: Rowdy, Anthony, Chris, Robert. And some not so local: Scott Glasgow.
Weldon won the raffle - have fun with it, we expect to see it during the year at the field in flying form.
If I can do anything to change the calendar for next year, I will - but it is really tough as there are so many other events when the weather is less extreme. Also, I plan on having the event setup and dates posted well in advance so that you all have a better opportunity to block it out on the calendars.
There is also a chance that next year we'll host a full fledged 3D contest with posted competition rules - trained judges, and prizes fit for this level of contest.
See you at IRCHA and Mount Pleasant.
Chris.
