Any R/C pilot can appreciate the saying on the back of Ben's shirt!

Nice views of nice airplanes including an Alpha trainer that was also for sale with all-terrain wheels

Rick Poire brought down his new Matt Chapman 33% scale CAP 580 with a Brisson 5.8 engine. So nice!

We sat the two CAP 580's next to each other. The big one belongs to Rick Poire, the smaller one to Brandon Rex. Both were very nicely done airplanes. Pizza Box combat is not a 'flag-football' sport, this is full-contact combat. Last guy flying - WINS!

Watch out! The electric plane got a little close for comfort as he went out to retrieve his airplane. Then one of the best exhibitions of 3-D heli flying any of us have seen with this very capable helicopter

This helicopter flew in every possible attitude and was only upright long enough to land. It had the quietest idle of any gas-powered engine I have ever heard. Magnificent flying!

JCRC's Stacy & Tom Gillmore brought their Tiger II which was for sale and Tom flew the stuffing out of his profile Katana

Tom Gillmore was really pushing his abilities at this event. He kept hovering lower and lower with each flight. Excellent!

More of Tom Gillmore hanging it on the prop - no help from gyros here!

Tom lands his Katana. Two very nice raffle prizes were made available at the event.

LORCS's Daniel Smith shows off the very nice Ultra Stick 60 that was the first raffle prize which was donated by J & S R/C Hobby Shop. Guess who won? NO! Not Rick Poire, it was Harley Wilkinson! Way to go Harley! Now another project to keep you busy in addition to marching band and school! Harley was all smiles as he collected his prize.

Next up was the nice Cessna ARF donated by Mid-Mo Hobby Shop as a raffle prize. Finally, after taking pictures most of the day, JCRC's Shaun Zimmerman had to do some battery swapping, but eventually flew his Sig Kadet LT-25

Stacy Gillmore was able to capture these nice photos of Shaun Zimmerman's LT-25

Shaun Zimmerman's LT-25 was clocked with the radar gun at a mind-blowing speed of 13 miles per hour! :-)

Feeling comfortable with the plane Shaun setup to do a high-alpha inverted pass, but suddenly realized that the plane was dead-stick, rolled up right and landed, stopping at the end of the runway.
