Nice... just a few years before my family moved to Fresno... recognize a lot of the planes... Kaos, Tiger-Tail, maybe a Citroen or a Taurus..???. John Lockwood RIP... Was this the main runway... or the East-West runway?
Hi Mike. Ain’t this a hoot. The run way is on the south side and east west. We flew there up until a few years ago, our field is now on ave 12 south and east of here about six miles.
Radio Controlled aerobatics competition consisted of 4 classes in those days: A, B, C and D. "A" was the beginning class with easy maneuvers and up to "D" which was the top class with difficult aerobatic maneuvers. Easy maneuvers were: Takeoff, 3 loops, three horizontal rolls, one square loop, etc. Difficult maneuvers for the top class were: 4 point and 8 point rolls, a three turn spin, Square vertical "eight" loops, etc. Each class flew about 14 maneuvers in sequence to complete a round of competition. Most contests consist of 6 rounds spread over 2 days. Thanks for the question.
