The following report comes from District V Associate Vice President Andrew Griffith.

The Radio Control Club of Jacksonville, Florida, and the Florida Freestyle Aerobatics Association hosted the fourth annual 3D Bowl at the Jacksonville club field. Forty pilots and many more family members and spectators showed up to enjoy three days of Florida sunshine and open 3-D flying.

Aircraft ranged from foamie park flyers such as the Crack Yak, to 170cc monsters that were hovering on the deck and belching smoke. Speaking of belching smoke, club member Jason Cowart and his business Serial Smokers provided plenty award-winning, smoked pulled pork and chicken for the pilots and spectators.
