When you take the first three places in anything, you done good. Congragulations. Were there no long winged Maules, you know 6's and stuff?

Mine is a relatively stock m-5 210c. It has been sitting out at Big Lake, about 60 miles from my home, for nearly three years. To get it back in the air I added a fresh out of the box Lycon engines rebuild: ported and polished, flow matched, a little work on the cam. I only have about 35 hours on it, but it purrs and it roars. I have a stock 74" prop, and I want to change that. I am told over and over by those who have played with props that this is ridiculoulsly short for this engine and horsepower. Please help us 210 drivers find a longer prop. I have vgs, gap seals, and a certain flap mod that Kurt alludes to --mostly stock. I have 31" Bushwheels, which have added a layer of safety to my off airport operations, and I look forward to a rumored exteneded gear.

There was one at least one m-6 there. A few other Maules that did not compete. It would be nice to see more Maules participate.

I can not encourage folks enough: come to Valdez for this event. It is very well run and just so much fun. Thanks to the organizers, volunteers, and sponsors. I will post some pictures on the other post a little later.

I think the technique was Roadkill , Redwine and Whiskey, from the tests I administered.

AFTER THE FACT of course!

Glad you joined us Jeremy. Anyone who can put up with our deterious diet and tasteless libations and still find room to laugh about it long into the night is always welcome!
Funny thing, the Cub crowd had relatively spartan accomodations, a true testament to usefull load. Lite beer and freeze dried food my ass!

Now that Valdez is over, what's the next event to look forward to? Would still like to meet some of you at a gathering.
