I knew there was a contest thread missing! Looking forward to this years Olegfest!

This year, I will take Friday off and get there. What do you recommend for an easy 1m plane? Maybe by some miracle, I would have it ready by October It would be a good next step for my son after WhipIt.

Jesper

Go Mini, if you want an excellent plane at a good price. It flies like a 1.5, launches like a 1.5, but is smaller. They should be off the waiting list in the next week or two, and Thomas shipping is crazy fast.

Thanks for the signups guys. Keep them coming!

Sounds like we certainly want to do a 1 meter event then?..

I am sure we could sort something out.....

Hopefully I can be there for all three days this year.

Jesper, if you are interested by chance in a slightly used Falke you can get yourself a ready to fly plane.

Nope. If you sell it I get to take your title of world champion Falke pilot, since this indicates you are too scared of my purple demon to defend your title at San Felasco next year.

Thank You my friend ! I am really looking forward to it and I am hoping to bring a few more pilots with me.

Just noticed Jesper is suggesting non-white shirts for this year. I am thinking light blue, but am open to suggestions.

Dick

I like the idea of non-white shirts, it would be a good change.

Especially for me.....I can't do much of anything without making a mess.

Apparently Scribner doesn't need a shirt.

Yes, I have a lot of White shirts by now - blue would be great!
