Skyscrapers Annual
October 16 & 17
Wawayanda, New York


We had a determined group flying in rugged conditions. The wind was 6 to 14 mph measured from ground (up to 20mph in air). Fortunately it came from a good direction, and we had a pleasant segment of sod to launch from at the southwest end of the field.  Turbulance brought a number of flights to an early landing.  For the FAI events Sunday we stopped after 5 rounds because models were beginning to tumble on the field. In FAI, Junior fliers (age 18 and under) won four out of five events, including Phil Scheiman who won F1B.  Phil (from California) came the farthest to participate. Juniors also had a good showing in AMA and Nostalgia events, especially Brian Pacelli in HLG, Catapult, and 1/2 A Nostalgia.  Here I list the FAI and AMA/Nostalgia results.  Results for FAC and SAM events may be available from Tom Hallman and John Stott respectively.  There were 44 participants altogether. -- Andrew Barron
