The 2009 United States National Aerobatic Championships

 I now have both Zak Heffley's four minute and Paul Jennings glider four minute up loaded to YOUTUBE!  Just go to the web site and then search Zak or Pauls name and you'll get the video.  Plus here's the link but I've had people tell me there are problems so check it out either way... I'm not Doug Lovell with a computer genious mind!   Soups!www.youtube.com/watch

Thank you all very much for a great contest.

From myself and all of the volunteers, we wish you safe travels and look forward to the next contest.

Very best,

Chris
