Race Results

2 day event in Rockford…..Slow guys can win!

Sunday saw more of the same action with a couple unique twists thrown in.  After 2 “tail-up” engine snubbing launches, Darwin finally figures out at the line for race 3 that he has the wrong airplane selected on his transmitter!  Good thing it didn’t get into the air because the ailerons were backwards too!  We can all learn a lot by watching Darwin fly.  Leroy Webb kept up with the usual verbal barrage, but ended up finishing 2nd in 3 heats by less than a plane length.  Jim Nikodem was the spoiler in 2 of those heats, and Bernie was running so hot to get away from Leroy he set fast time!  Dan Steinmetz had a super fast plane after the wing separated from the fuse, and unfortunately heat 4 was the end for him.  At the end of the day the final looked similar to the day before:
