Congrats on getting two days of interesting flying in.  Great to see Paul G at the top, even with a couple of cuts and a heroic save.  Class act!  The Needle was always a very fast model in the right hands, and I always wondered if it had been made stiffer and with slightly more tail area whether we would all still be flying them.  Good to also see Mike E back in action as well, good stuff.

Only flew the N124 briefly 1 maybe 2 rounds, mine is the long fuselage, (longer moment arm)version as the prototype was , it deals with the slight lack of tail area better, couldn’t find the wing ballast anywhere, who knows if it would have been better than the one I elected as number 1 airframe.

 I flew my old 2010 Proton (ex Andreas Kunz) which also could have done with a tad more ballast for the Levisham air.

Thanks for the spreadsheet Jon.

A very equitable comp (in one way) with 10 out of the 13 of us (77%) winning a round!

Including you, well done!
