In spite of threatening

weather, there was a

good turnout; 9 fliers

and an equal number

of spectators.

John Eggum was the

CD for the Bomb Drop

and did an excellent

job.

John Nowikowski

probably should get

points for the

construction of his

bomb.

It's a bomb that will last

a lifetime made from a

dowel rod, a large nut,

and plywood!

Brian Huckstep gets

his electric ready for

the fun fly.

Alex Lach has one of

the neatest tool

holders on his field

box.

Bob Laitman used a

dowel rod held on with

rubber bands...

...and washers tied

together with a string

for his "bomb". Don't

laugh, he came in 2nd

Place!

Jim Ansel accidentally

rolled over the number

one on takeoff. That

never happened

before.

Ed Lipka fires up the

Goldberg Falcon. This

plane does not want to

land; flies beautifully!

Here is the frequency

flag board. I was

surprised not to see at

least one of the new

2.4 Ghz radios.

Jim Ansel's bomb did

not want to exit his

electric Telemaster.

Jim made some

perfect tail up landings

with this beauty.

Greg digs a little

deeper to get the

bomb release to work.

Contest director John

Eggum (R) watches

Ed Lipka make his

approach.

Team Parenti

prepares for Gary's

takeoff.

Alex Lach gets ready

to takeoff with his

Druine Turbulent. It is

a beautiful plane. I

believe that Alex built

if from plans.

Ed Lipka used one of

the bombs available

from Hobby Lobby but

made his own release

mechanism.

Brian Huckstep

entered his e-flite

electric stick and a

bean for the bomb. He

had to roll upside

down to drop the

bean.

I wonder if the bean

was a coffee bean.

Gary Parenti and Ed

Lipka had a flyoff to

determine 3rd Place.

Gary toasted it with

this 4 point placement.

Ed dropped his bomb

and it landed in the 4

point ring, but

bounced out into the 3

point ring.

Left to right; Gary

Parenti- 3rd Place,

Bob Laitman-2nd

Place, Greg Meyer-1st

Place. Greg said that

this was his first Fun

Fly in a long time.

Congratulations all

participants!
