THE COMBAT SQUADRON

Jim Waybright - Lester Morris
 Jason Yoder 

During the last year, several members of MARKS have become very interested in SSC combat. They have competed in the NAT'S competition at the 2007 and 2008 Nationals in Muncie, Indiana, and other area meets. This fall, The MARKS CLUB sponsored two AMA sanctioned meets at MARKS FIELD under the direction of Club member, Sam Windsor. Therefore, a new web page has been added to highlight their activities.

MARKS Spring Shootout

Our Spring Shoot Out this year had fabulous temperatures with medium winds. There were 15 contestants which gave us heats of 7 and 8 planes per heat, very exciting. Bill Young worked the grill, and Jim Waybright was the CD (Contest Director), stepping in for David Hess who usually does these and made it back to town to help with the end of the event. Thank you Jim  Event results are below.
