I guess I am entitled to a little message here since I am NOT American and
NOT a RES flyer.
BUT I did attend RES. Why? Well because I would love to test the format and
Barry gave me a chance to be there for it.
RES is a completely different task because the models fly so differrently. I
know the deal because I learned how to fly rudder elevator but was still
thinking all wrong in the RES at Nats. I flew it like my MUCH faster Pike
Brio and ended up on the ground under that thermal I was flying over to. And
my timer did the same mistake as me. He wanted me to be on top of the pilot
in that thermal just to be safe. Well that was my mistake at RES. A slow RES
and no lead poored into that fuse you are not going anywhere. You will go up
in a fart but might have to plan your way home halfway up that thermal.
So basic: Those that win RES will be worthy the throphy. And if they get a
full day they will be even more worthy.
I dont think I will be flying RES next year as it is so big leap in
differrence of flying style. But those that enter (one would have to enter
and event to win it or become a champion) are THE best. And since it is
Nationals he (or she) will be the National champion that year. There is no
way around that case.
IF I would enter Visalia and IF I happen to win I will probably call myself
champion of Visalia and the biggest soaring event. But there is a loooong
way to Visalia.
Anyhow I do feel I am a small part of your soaring and are proud to have
been there ;-)

Hmm... according to Mr. Stump, those who fly RES are only there to "get
their chance at the podium" - fliers eager for a scrap of the fleeting
fame
that comes from getting "wood'. What does that say about the Nostalgia
fliers? Sorry, Mike, some of us still enjoy the challenge of 3 channel
flying or seeing a gaggle of completely different sailplanes. May we
apologize for taking away from 6 days of unlimited - not!
