Tucson Shootout 2008

The eve of the shootout is almost over! The big day has almost arrived! Last night at the BBQ round at Dave place, I got chatting to Frazer. I asked him was be going to the judges meeting? He said no “I’m going to the moon!” I Said I had planned on going to the breif, he said come to the moon with me!

So to cut a long story short we did! I flew a few knowns, some unknowns and a spot of freestyle! I have made the decision not to compete in the freestyle. The model is not setup at all for 3d, we can’t change the geometry without effecting the resolution and sequence rates etc.,

The unlimited is the main thing for me at this contest so I would be foolish to ruin that for the sake of a freestyle! The lesson learnt from this is you need two models, no matter what! Frazer agreed he said your flying your sequence bloody good, stuff the freestyle!

Overall this trip has been a blast so far and I haven’t even flown a competition flight yet! I’ve had help from so many world class pilots and learnt lots! I’ve also made friends with a few which has been cool!! Plenty of time to freestyle at next years comp?? Haha

Tomorrow will be cool!!
