with Thanksgiving very close the 6 competitors fine tuned their models to do battle for the frozen Turkeys that were waiting to be cooked and eaten
Meet the Pilots ready to do battle….
Gary “Combat” Frost
Fred “Giblets” Cronenwett
Jason “Turkey Hunter” Pearson
John “Cranberries” Garrett
John “Gravy” Moll
Dan “Turkey Killer” McEntee
1st Round as to fly as fast as possible – standing start for 6 laps
Now your job is to set the needle so that the motor barely runs and the model limps into the air – fly as slow as possible for 6 laps
Also put lots of streamers on to create drag to slow you down and make it fly like a turkey! Probably the only time you want a really bad engine run!
Time to Pop some Balloons – they are small so it’s harder than you think!
Jason with a direct hit
Time for some Combat!
Gary “Combat” Frost closing in on Jason “Turkey Hunter” Pearson
The final results – 3 Frozen Turkeys find a new home (only to be eaten a few days!)
Both Jason and Fred had major damage to the aircraft
Other pictures of the food and the site – clear plastic and heaters kept us warm
