Jim Schuett's winning flight at the 'This is Only a Hobby" 1/2A contest at the Aurora airport on 9/20/09. Bill Calkins and Art Johnson judge Jim, flying his Norvel (Big Mig .049) powered Baby Clown. Jim flies this combo on 42' .008" lines; Merlin glow plug; 30% nitro; prop UNK. At this contest all classes fly the PAMPA Beginner pattern, though I have seen Jim do the whole pattern with this plane.
Great flying.
I do the inside loops pretty well but still hit the ground on the 8s with my Li'l Jumpin' Bean. Still learning, still gluing.
