Would 7 pilots in Masters mean you had a terrific contest?  If so, we had a great one.  There were some really good pattern flyers competing and there was not a single crash.

 The temperature was a cool 62 degrees with the wind from the north at 17 MPH to begin the contest.  The temperature rose and the wind calmed later in the day which made for beautiful weather and great flying.

There to honor Richard Byrd were his three sons Stephen, Bryan and Rick who are all very accomplished pilots. All three of their aircraft were built by their father Richard, a fantastic modeler.

We had only one pilot each in Sportsman and Expert with Wayne Galligan taking Expert and Nathan Haycock taking Sportsman.

We had homemade hamburgers with all the fixings for lunch and a lot of fellowship.  The field maintenance crew had the field in perfect condition.   All this made for a great contest.
