This first day of competition turned out to be a beautiful day to be flying! The winds were light, the temperature was moderate, and the sun was shining. There was no complaining about the weather on Wednesday, June 16!

The day started with a short pilots’ meeting. Everyone was informed, prepared, and ready to go.

The first round was a Known Round and was flown to perfection. David Moser was our first pilot in the air, and he mentioned that he wouldn’t have had it any other way!

Pilots have their flying orders and Unknowns, and now the hard part begins! Today is the first day of competition for the 2017 RC Scale Aerobatics Nats! Read all about it in today's issue of NatsNews!
