    Default Trent Palmer - 2nd Place at the HSF STOL Drags

    Amazing performance in an airplane he barely got together in time to attend. Congrats to Trent and the folks at Kitfox Aircraft.

    1st place went to Draco. A PT-6 powered Wilga monster.

    Ok... Draco should be in a different category with Beta pitch option... unless he was blocked from using it.

    But I bet good fun was had by all!!

    Sounds like the “cub killer” was a success! In my book Trent won. Let’s start a petition to ban “Draco”. Kidding.....but really it’s not even a contest. That’s like showing up to a go kart race with a Indy car🙂 I guess I just wanted Trent to win bad! Always like the underdog.

    Just three months ago he would have taken 1st. Draco only came into the picture in July.

    Well technically Trents plane became a contender only a couple days ago with his new engine install complete. I think the only way to beat Draco is with another turbine.

    something to think about here. If Trent would have faced off with Draco at the beginning, he wouldn't have made 2nd.
