| The pre-contest dinner at
the magnificent home of Enrique Elizondo. Check
out the view of Monterrey! |
Enrique and
I with his lovely wife Veronica, daughter Verito, and
son Enrique. |
We were busy
discussing important stuff like, "Hey, mañana,
who's bringing the beer?" |
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| L-R standing
you have Fernando Jr., Fernando Martinez, Bernardo, Juan, Gustavo,
and Enrique. L-R sitting is Oscar, Fernando Sr., me
and Jorge. |
Worried
about preparations for the contest, Mario anxiously
tells me how to make the taco sauce. |
With the aid
of the computer we are calculating exactly how many
tacos we will need for a 3-day contest. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| The guys
were fun and all, but las Mujeres O! que bonitas!! |
Fernando
removing his servo arms before his first flight, these
guys will do anything for an early lunch break. |
"After being
here all week, did you see Joe's belly?" |
|

the Wild Hare. |
Bolt'n on
the NX prop. |
"How
many tacos did you have to eat to get feet like
those?" |
|
 |
 |
 |
| You guessed
it, Manual was eating tacos. |
Ah, now he's
ready to fly. |

"What do you
think? One more taco?" |
The winds
were blowing hard on Sunday. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| Gustavo and
I got to thinking. |
Maybe if you
hold the rudder I can hover in this wind? |
It worked!

The largest plane in the contest. Gustavo! |
My
recognition award, I was a little too dizzy at the
time to recognize my recognition. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| They were
all very excited about my speech describing... |

were going to dinner later! |
