[RCSE] OVSS #1 - CSS Memorial
What a way to kick off the OVSS series! That was really a fun time. The weather kept changing with no apparent patterns, great contest weather. Everyone was just really enjoying themselves, and that is so cool to be around. The contest was tight, the CSS guys continue to demonstrate they know how to run and keep a seeded MoM contest rolling. Scoring was on it, there was never a delay from round to round. Sieb at CD was calling appropriate task times, after nine years some clubs have fine tuned this format to rock solid fun. It was also nice to see some new guys showing their skills... who is this Paul Sherman pilot??? 8-) (really nice guy) Thank you CSS club, you really put on a great contest and I like contesting your flying field. Thank you to the OVSS pilots and crew, you guys are a great group to contest and fly with. Here are some pictures I snapped over the weekend, notice all the big smiles! http://www.jimbacus.net/soaring/OVSS_1_2005/index.html Looking forward to seeing you all at LOFT!

It looks like he knows how those sliders work. lol http://www.jimbacus.net/soaring/OVSS_1_2005/pages/DSC02751.html Somehow this makes me think of the Three.. err, Four Stooges. nyuk nyuk nyuk... http://www.jimbacus.net/soaring/OVSS_1_2005/pages/DSC02756.html What a riot. Hope you saved some for Ft Wayne. Steve At 09:04 PM 5/24/2005, James V. Bacus wrote: ...

I told him I was going to take a picture of him with a Stylus for Peter. 8-) (good laugh) I figured you might also spot this Futaba model sitting on a JR chair with my 10x... 8-)) http://www.jimbacus.net/soaring/OVSS_1_2005/pages/DSC02768.html Somehow this makes me think of the Three.. err, Four Stooges. nyuk nyuk nyuk... http://www.jimbacus.net/soaring/OVSS_1_2005/pages/DSC02756.html Those paddles are electric bug swatters, they zap the bugs with a good spark, Capn' Jack was selling them. Of course they are posing around a Mantis. 8-) What a riot. Hope you saved some for Ft Wayne. Steve At 09:04 PM 5/24/2005, James V. Bacus wrote: ...

RE: [RCSE] OVSS #1 - CSS Memorial
CSS guys, thank you all for a great job on the contest. Among the best run contest, I've ever been to. Lots of good guys, and yes... lots of smiles all weekend. Many fond memories. Jim, thanks for the photos. I was showing my wife all the guys I spent the weekend with. Wow, what a talent pool. Out of 40 pilots on Saturday, I counted 7 or 8 LSF level 5's. And 5-8 more pilots with equal or superior skills. Wow! While not entirely happy with my flying Saturday, I was proud of my 11th place finish, given the talent in attendance.
