Who knew there was an epic LPP contest at Lakehurst this weekend ?
Well I'll bet only those who showed up.
ECIM had the annual meeting at noon and then had a respectable
amount of flyers the rest of the day. We had Tom Iaccobellis and his
son Vito Iaccobellis (Jr CAT IV record holder) Tom Green, Joe Crush,
Max Z, Karl Vanburen and myself all flying Lpp.
The day started out cool, but with very little drift models were
landing where they were launched. Times were around 13-14 minutes
untill the day got better and warmer as it does in the Hanger. Max
and I were putting up 15s and then I put up a 16:10 which spent some
time banging above the rafters at the top without hanging and then a
followup 16:27.
Max was behind by a minute and I had put my model away but as the
sun was setting to the point of not seeing planes he put up a burner
and landed with a 16:47 as the last beam of sunlight flickered out.
We had a great time with good air and the club is healthy and
strong. Final times are as follows for who I have times for.
Max 16:47
Romash 16:27
Vito I 14:38
Tom I 14:03
It may be a haul for most but remember Lakehurst is open every
weekend and we have record trials every other weekend all summer long
check MA contest calender for days and www.ecim.net for details.
