Dave Johnson Finished Third at Top Gun!
Dave Johnson, who recently moved from our area to take a job in IL has just finished Third at Top Gun in Lakeland Florida. This is a "by invitation only" event and only the best competitors are invited. I checked the r/c groups and many attendees commented how bad the wind was and how remarkable the pilots were to get their masterpieces up and down in one piece. A couple of pictures are shown below. Here is a link to some videos taken at the event: http://largoflyingclub.com/topgun.htm If you click on the "panther jet" video, you can see Dave flipping the prop on the Albatross at the very beginning, no doubt preparing for a flight. Take note of the flags - they are straight out and you can hear the wind in the video camera microphone! Unfortunately this came in just after the Newsletter was mailed out. Congratulations Dave!

Dave J. and his 1/3 scale Albatros!
