[RCSE] Thanks CASL
If you weren't there, you missed a great contest. It was well run, and the winch and line changes they made really made the difference. Darwin told me unofficially there were only 3 line breaks all weekend. The winches were quite zippy, but not ludicrously powerful. If they hadn't told us they had resisted them down slightly, we never would have known. Things went so smoothly, we even got to fly an extra round on Sat. Nice job CASL, and thanks I do hope other clubs follow suit on the winch power thing... On Saturday, the air was wonderfully buoyant. I'll bet almost everyone made their times - unless you did something really stupid... (Sorry JE) ;-) . Sunday, severe clear, thermals were definitely stronger, but there were a few holes out there, costing a few their times. Congrats to all the winners. Jason was on fire, nailing the luck dot on his last shot to cement the win. Andreas exhibited the landing style that has obviously been honed in a non-skeg competition format (CalTech actually sent an agent to check on unusual seismic activity) ;-). Mike S was consistently knocking down the landing points - he's so consistent. There was a way cool flyoff for 3rd between he and Cody. Side by side histart launches for a five minute max plus landing on an AMA tape. Mike shot a (I think) 2 under 96 to Cody's on time 92, taking the bronze. Nice job Mike It was fun to watch. Joe Nave in RES. He's an animal with that thing. Yeah, Gordy took Woody. (I know, I know)... Kornburg in 2M. Congrats again to all the top guys. Special congrats to CASL for doing a great job! See ya'll next year!!! D Darylperkins.com LLC. 1600 McCulloch Blvd. 5B Lake Havasu City, AZ 86403 www.darylperkins.com RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Thanks CASL
As has become a February tradition, I wish to thank CASL, Darwin, Mark, and all those good guys and gals who ran the contest and activities. Got to spend the day with my Mom on Friday and then had two great days of flying after having a hell of a lot of off time from a really crappy winter here in the midwest. After not getting to fly since November it felt so good to stretch the wings. That first round had some rust on it, but all the things that needed to work did and in the end I was happy with my outcome in Queen Creek. It was great to see friends from the west and the OVSS crowd had a good showing. Thanks again and we will be looking forward to seeing alot of you folks in Muncie for the Nats.

Re: [RCSE] Thanks CASL!
Oh and on this subject, I would like to add that while perusing the score sheet after day one, I was going down the placings and kind of speaking the names loud enough to be heard. There was this guy with a camera taking pictures of the scoreboard with his significant other behind me. I spoke Daryl, John Fruge - whoever that is, Me, etc. and low and behold, it was John right behind me that said, that's me One of those foot in mouth moments I thought I would share. Great job by the way John. Hope to see you and your nephew out at other contests throughout the year. Mike smith At 11:49 AM 2/7/2005, John Fruge wrote: I wanted to also thank CASL for a great event! This was my nephew Perry (age 11) and my first TD contest. (Other than our small local MRCC monthly contests.) It was a rollercoaster event for me. It started off bad when eating on the way out of town on Thursday I got food poisoning. (10 hours later about an hour out of Phoenix. ) I found myself stopped on the side of the 10 freeway lying on the rocks wanting to throw up and crap my pants at the same time. Lucky for me it was 11pm and the cool air did me some good and 10 minutes later we trekked on to the hotel. I want to thank my girlfriend Jennifer for driving the last 8 hours of the trip in. The high light of the event for me was after a great first day I was 2nd place on the score sheet. Knowing it would not last I did not loose much sleep over it. I did not make any good landings the 2nd day and missed my time on the last round by 4 minutes and ended up in 61st place. Perry did quite well. My choice of plane for him was not the best and he did great with what he had. On the way back up on this rollercoaster weekend we ended up doing great on the raffle. I just want to say thanks again for a great event. Everyone we talked with was very helpful and nice. We hope to be back next year.

[RCSE] Thanks CASL !
Greetings! Just started settling in here and thinking of the great weekend at the SWC. I want to thank the CASL members for all their hard work to bring us a great SWC this year. I felt the contest was run smooth and the field set up very comfortable. It reminded me of the old field, very much the same feel. The Slow Stick combat was great to watch. I am sure that event will grow rapidly! Congrads to all that placed. A job well done considering the landing conditions on Saturday. I really don't think many, if any made all their landings all weekend. Mother nature did get take a stab at us on Sunday. For those who got hit by the big sink cycle in the last round, I feel for ya! Been there, done that! Thanks again CASL! I WILL see you next year! Cheers Charlie RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Good Evening! I want to take this time to thank Dave Wenzlick and the whole CASL club for another great contest! Even with some early winch problems, They still got it handled! My hats off to you guys! The conditions were by far the most challenging at the SWC I have encountered in the 4 years I have attended! I would like to congratulate all the pilots for their individual achievements! We all place differently each year we attend. But it's all about our efforts and focus that make this contest a great event! Also thanks to Dave Darling for the glass of wine at the BBQ! It hit the spot Dave! Cheers! This is a really great contest!! Trust me! We drove through snow for 150 miles to get there! I would drive through 150 miles of cow pies to get there next year! Right now I think I will have a brew in my new Mug! Cheers Charlie P.S. I think your right about that other Joe! RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
