Welcome back! We are back to regularly scheduled episodes (hopefully lol). Nationals is in the books and live moves on! This week we have Chapter 36 president (or Vice President according to the website ha!) Bryan Jones on the podcast. Bryan is an aerobatic competitor, Contest Director, chapter President, and so much more! We ask about Bryans thoughts on Nationals and how he thought the contest went from a scoring standpoint, from a CD standpoint, and then of course his thoughts on the protests and DQs. Bryan also shared with us the movement now to change the way Class IV Directors are appointed, and that was very educational. Bryan currently flies a Great Lakes but is training in Michael Church’s mid wing Extra 300 to tansition into a Panzl, and Bryan shared his experiences moving into a high performance monoplane. Finally, we discuss the Southern California Classic contest coming up in Borrego CA 10/21 - 10/23. This is a joint venture between IAC 36 and IAC 49 and honestly has all the right ingredients to be one of the best contests in the country!
