The heats went on under heavy rain, without results good enough to be recorded. In a short spell of light rain, Pennisi-Rossi, flying one of their models with a Zalp engine, managed to achieve a stunning 3'10"8 in a easy two-teams reflight.
The final was in doubt until the very end of the afternoon, when - suddenly - the westerly sky opened up and the last glimpse of sunrays came through the clouds. The three teams rushed into the circle: Pennisi-Rossi; Martini-Menozzi (3'29"0), Radicchi-Lanzoni (3'29"9). The second team was a non starter due to a loose ball of the front bearing choosing to wander through piston/liner just at the end of the warm up period. It was an easy one for Roberto Pennisi- Andrea Rossi, with Radicchi-Lanzoni flying conservatively at 19 sec. for 36 laps, but what a display by the former world champs: 200 laps without a single change of tune in the Zalp engine, lapping at 17"0 - 17"2, 35 laps. All 10 laps including pit stops were below 24". Andrea Rossi didn't use the faster Suraiev refuelling system, which could have meant another 6-8 sec. gain. Final time: 6'22" 4. It should be the best of the year.
It looks like this contest being the last for Roberto and Andrea together. A big end to a long F2C story (41 years for Roberto and 20 for Andrea). More info soon.

The 16th annual Virgil Wilbur Memorial Control Line Contest, presented by the 101st Squadron Screaming Eagles with CL Speed run by the Control Line Speed Flyers of Southern California, was held at Whittier Narrows in hot 90+, calm weather. Our air density meter went down early morning and stayed down all day. Of the 70 contestants there were 16 speed flyers from Arizona, California, Colorado, Iowa, Nevada and Utah, and 59 attempts for 42 official flights. Two new records! Slugger Brown and Bob Fogg 196.64 D-Speed flight early Sunday morning and Charlie Legg 113.45 ½A Profile Proto.
Big excitement when Auntie Arleighs jet turned in on the dolly and chased Pal Joey round the pylon. Weve all seen this happen but the jet always quits right away. Not this one! It was spinning, the pipe was glowing red hot, and it just kept running. I grabbed our fire extinguisher and hosed her down.
Every contest should have a fire extinguisher and a first aid kit.
