Same thing happened at the Nationals. Sounds like time for new and different engines.

Wow. Greg Hahn has a static of 100?I don't think I've ever seen that. And he has the 2nd highest flight score...that's gonna be a hard combination to beat right there. WOW.

I'm amazed by how high some of the flight scores are.
And surprised there's only 2 entries in TEAM.

Going to be a battle between Hahn and Barbee. A squeaker. Right now it's a flying competition between the two

I wish we had K-factors for maneuver difficulty.
I have no idea what maneuvers they are flying, but a high speed pass should not score the same as an Immelman, or a Derry Turn.
I wish I was there.

Don,
I am here to help.
You should be here!
Greg's plane is very subtle in detail nothing pops out but it is all there.
He flew with hung gear the first two rounds I am not sure how he could have any decent flight scores.
After the Comp Greg figured the gear out then on a test flight the engine shook itself loose on landing approach and the prop getting broken as some of the bolts/dummy engine bailed out.
He stopped the engine with Ignition kill switch. The throttle wasn't likely to have the range of motion to kill the engine.
One more reason to have an ignition kill switch.
It is more better now.
