    Finally, I have gloat too!

    Today, I got a First Place trophy in Scale with my H500D at a fun-fly in Gulf Port, Ms.! Granted, the entry list was low, but it was still a win. I was VERY surprised and VERY gratified. In addition to the win, I got to see a lot of talented pilots rip holes in the sky and I made a couple of decent flights.

    Everyone had a great time and the guys of MCRCC are to be commended for putting on such a great event. Even the weather was on our side today; it was perfect. As a result, I'm a true redneck tonight in the most literal sense of the word.

      If you entered a scale helo shouldn't you get a scale trophy?

      But seriously, good job Larry. Certainly a great gloat.

        It is a scale trophy. It is a 1/8 scale of a trophy that is 6 feet tall.

          Congrats! Doesn't seem that long ago since you started, so that is a nice success.
