Big Jolt has been over for almost 2 weeks now, and were just getting around to assembling all the material. The event was a BIG Success dispite the 108 degree heat. We had almost 70 Registered pilots, this year, with many coming from as far away as Arizona. This year we added a night flying competition, which we had many competitors, as well as spectators turn out for the dazzling night time flying light show. We also had the speed run, though this year was not as fast as last year due to the heat and wind, but it was sill very fast , with top speeds approaching 190Mph. Check out the Speed Trials Result Document Here.

We have posted some photos from the event so be sure to check the PVMAC photo gallery, and John Reid from Model Airplane News posted some videos on ModelAirplaneNews.com
