As I was away on a 1 week voyage that I did not have any say in the date to make the trip, I missed this years Annual John Nicolaci Memorial Float Fly. Though from hat I see there as a smaller turnout it seemed like all as perfect in flight and eater. In posting the photos I received from Nancy Dupont. I also picked up on Jerry Normadin's FPV quad surveying the flights at Mary's Pond.

Taking note of the very clear and stable flight I am posting a link here in this Hobby Thread. Good job Jerry.

I also reworked a few of the emailed photos with borders and some cropping to bring in closer some of the RC pilots and activities
