Yeah, and you know what is even worse?  Marc Gellart's Blaster didn't 
have a rudder on it either - just a stab - and he won our NATS too...

I kinda feel bad for ribbing Marc in one of the last rounds where he was 
struggling keeping his turn coordinated in some super-light air... but 
his launches were great and apparently lack of rudder didn't keep him 
from winning the contest...

(I like my rudder, thank you very much)

Great contest, guys!  I'd love to see more Loud Americans heading 
overseas for that contest.... or better yet, more Euros at our NATS! :)

> Thanks for keeping everyone updated Ben.  What a great competition it was.  The skills on that field were impressive.  I sure would have liked to have a higher finish but even in 31st place my score was 96.4% of first.  I am happy with my performance.  It was well worth the trip and I have every intention to go back for another shot at em next year.  Here is a little factoid for ya, the guy that finished first did not have a rudder on his plane.
