OVSS #2 - LOFT

TK and I made the trip to Ft. Wayne, Indiana on Friday after work, not really a long drive but we didn't want to do it early in the morning before the contest.  This month is just too busy with contests and events, but this is a contest that I need for OVSS and I like to fly with the LOFT guys.  This club understands how to do a good seeded man on man contest.

The conditions were light, and I was glad to be flying my ICON lite.  Many rounds were decided by the last man down, not the task time.  I like that.  I placed second on Saturday, behind a guy I never heard of before, Paul Sherman.  He also flew an ICON, but flew top of the line Futaba gear.

Now What? 

On Sunday Jimbo showed up, just to mix the results up a bit.  Jimbo barely beat Karl Miller and myself for a Chicago SOAR club sweep of the wood.  A good showing for Team JR as well.  That also gave me enough points to score overall weekend champion and two JR DS 368 servos, thanks JR!

This will be another strong weekend as far as OVSS points are concerned.  No throw outs yet.

Here is a photo gallery of shots I took over the weekend.
