San Valeers Correction
Based on the recent comments from Derek in SEN I have corrected the San Valeer results to reflect Bill Booth in second place in F1B. I also added F1H results which was missing before. I went over all of the events and other than those 2 events with the corrections noted above no other placings were changed.
Sorry for the error,.

Hatschek International Challenge results
From: Andrew Barron
Dear Free Flight Friends,
Winds were strong, but nevertheless we had twelve paid participants at the Hatschek International Challenge, plus a nice Skyscraper annual banquet at the upgraded Jolly Onion after the Saturday Flying. The F1A fliers included Risto Puhakka who came from California to attend his son’s NYU graduation on Friday. We were able to pick him up early Saturday and get an 8am start so we could fly before the winds picked up. Risto maxed out to win in F1A. Drake Hooke maxed out in E36 and A-Electric. The winds were from the South-Southwest which is a favorable direction. Here are the results. — CDs Aram and Andrew

The weather conditions (15 to 20mph average wind) and likley impassable perimeter access road, tall grass (the field has not been mowed because of the rains), we are postponing the contest. We are looking at June 14th and 15th as a possibility. We are aware that it is Father’s Day but want to schedule the contest before the real Texas heat hits.
As we get closer, we will update you about a new contest date.
