Jim Juhl Jr. is getting ready to launch his K&B powered endurance model called the Pearin class B Gas (above left). Dale Elder (above right) packs in
awards and America’s Cup points, there is also the Ray Mathews (CD of KOI #1) Per- petual Award for 1⁄2A Nostalgia Gas, which this year went to Larry Davidson from Vir- ginia. Three “Top Gun” awards are also pre- sented to the fliers with the most maxes over the three days of competition in Nostalgia, Classic and AMA Gas. The competition was tough this year, with limited thermal activi- ty. After three days “Top Gun” awards went to Larry Davidson in Nostalgia (451), Bob Hanford in Classic (598) and Gerald Brown for the AMA Gas. Perpetual trophies were
some winds on his AMA Dartfor some inexpensive, indoor fun, proving it’s not the price of the toys that counts.
also awarded for: Gollywock Mass Launch to Don DeCook; E-36 (Maxathon) to Jim Bradley; Classic Towline to Jean Pailet; and P-30 to Brian Malin. KOI is as much about getting together with old friends—and making new ones—as it is a competition. I do find it interesting to see how many FF modelers show up, enter and then just fly, enjoy the camaraderie and never turn in a score.
This year will mark the 60th consecutive King Orange International and as always, it will be held on December 29–31. Those dates
will fall conveniently on a Monday through Wednesday. You will be able to arrive over the weekend for some test flying and visit with everyone before the event. After a great week of Free Flight in sunny Florida you can then sleep in on New Year’s Day and have a relaxed drive home. What could be better than that?

John Forthingham launches a Lonzo Stick. He drove down from Maine to compete at his first KOI and we hope he will be back next year. FLYING MODELS 23
