Micki -

I definitely remember you, was great to meet!

And thanks for all the tips; but its Scott that needs them (started
this whole conversation). *I'm up in Seattle and someday I hope to get
out that direction; but for the next year or two I'll be sticking to
contests in Region 12, Region 11, and Region 8 I think! *:-)

Take care,

I guess that's a good question -- where do you live, Scott? It's too
late,
but I'd heartily recommend Perry, too. I've flown my contests there,
and
while it's always booked to the hilt, there's a good mix of beginners
and
really great pilots. Last year the guys on the National team (9 of
them)
were all mentors to the newbies, plus Hank Nixon gave a nice talk on
how to fly contests for everyone one evening. Plus, the flying was
great -- big field, lots of nice fields around, great food, and
everybody
stays on the field for the week.
