Co-winner of the George Pike Award for 2025, Dave Stoudt loads up his LOC-IV X2 at the high power pads while Ernie Marsh gets a photo.

Thanks to Dave for the great shots and Ernie for the great shots.

Dave's LOC-IV on an I-140 looks great on its way up. (at right)

And it looked pretty darn good on its way down too! (below).

And while Dave Stoudt's LOC-IV drifted a little farther than he would have liked, he was able to recover it without issue.

Nice flying, Dave!

Flyers: 11

Flights: 34

Ken Allen (at right) spent 2 hours watching the action and selling some motors.

And he spent 6 hours sanding this damn coupler.

Ahhh, time well spent.

The little guys spent most of the day showing the big guys how it is done.

Nice job, guys!

A clear sky with a few big puffy clouds and a lonely parachute hanging up there.

Pretty much sums it up for June.

Come on out for July!

And thanks go out to Casey Andre for doing all day RSO duty!
