This section of the website is dedicated to competition-oriented flying.  The summaries of our monthly contests are contained here.  Plans for contest write-ups from other events outside of TMSS will be placed here too to keep those interested up-to-date on the latest in the world of R/C Soaring competition. Reports about the US Nationals, and US Team Selections will be placed here as time permits.  This section will also include information about the latest competition sailplanes and technologies.

Status as of December 2nd:

While it has been a tough year for competition, due to weather and temper-tantrums, the up-to-date year end scores are available here.  In summary, several year-end placings are locked-up at this time.  They are:

In Sportsflyer unlimited:

1) Bill Mims is the man and has 1st locked up.
2) John "I don't like cut-throat competition" has 2nd place.
3) 3rd is up for grabs.  Sean Kahldal is in 3rd now, but Josh Jr is very close behind.

In Expert unlimited:

1) Josh Sr. has 1st place locked up.
2) Lenny Strickland is in 2nd place, but Neil Huffman could move him out of 2nd with a win!
3) Don Richmond could move Neil out of 3rd.

In Sportsflyer 2-M:
1) Josh Jr has 1st place locked-up.
2) John Moody is in 2nd place, but could be passed by Luke Glaab
3) Luke has 3rd place locked-up at least, although I do not know how we handle ties

In Expert 2-M:
1) Josh Sr. has 1st place locked-up.
2) Don Richmond has 2nd place locked-up.
3) Brady Baggs is in 3rd place, but could be unseated by many flyers (Dick Proseus, Mark Sedlak, or really anyone who wins the last Expert 2-M event!).
