Northwest
Control-Line Competition standings
Follies wrap up Aerobatics, Combat,
Racing points races
T he 2026 Fall Follies in Salem,
Ore., resulted in updates of the standings that most likely
will be the final result of the year's competitive scramble.
No other contests are on the schedule for 2026 at this
point.
The points races in Aerobatics and Combat came to an
interesting conclusion in Aerobatics, Combat and Racing
overall standings. Overall standings combine points for all
the variations of each event category. Overall Combat and
Overall Racing ended up in two-way ties for first place and
Overall Aerobatics ended up in a three-way tie.

Vintage Stunt Trophy,

Also at the Follies, Bob Welch of Federal Way, Wash., was
awarded the annual Don McClave Vintage Stunt Trophy
for best combined performance in Old-Time and Classic Stunt
for 2026. The standings actually ended in a points tie, with
both Welch and Pat Johnston of Boise, Idaho, scoring 14
points. Their only head-to-head contest, Classic Stunt at
the Northwest Regionals, was used as a tie-breaker.
The Vintage Stunt Trophy was originated and sponsored by the
late Don McClave. Since his death it has been sponsored by Flying
Lines.
Previous winners have been Bruce Hunt (2006, 2008,
2009, 2010), Scott Riese (2005), Pat Johnston (2007), Pete
Peterson (2011, 2013), Alan Resinger and John Thompson
(2012, tie), John Thompson (2014), Dave Royer (2015,
2018), Mike Haverly (2016, 2017, 2019), Jerry Eichten
(2022 and 2025), and Bob Welch, (2023, 2024).

The Northwest standings system
Flying Lines keeps
track of standings in all AMA rulebook and Northwest
official events, in all Northwest sanctioned contests.
Your FL editors do their best to keep up
with the results, but contest directors can help keep the
standings up to date by making sure to send the results
to FL immediately after the contest. If you
spot errors, please let us know.
Results must include the placing in each event
through fourth place and the report also must list the
number of contestants in the event, in order for the point
standings to be counted accurately.
Also, please include in your report the hometown
of the contestants. Only Northwest residents are counted
in the standings (AMA Dist. XI and British Columbia). The
score of each contestant also should be listed for general
reporting purposes and for checking against the Northwest records.
If you flew in a contest that doesn't appear to be
counted, contact the contest director or Flying Lines.
How the points are compiled:
Who is eligible to score points: Any resident of
AMA District XI or British Columbia. AMA Dist. XI includes
Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and Alaska.
What events are counted: Official AMA rulebook
events, official Northwest rules events (see Northwest Rules for a list)
and official special interest group events such as PAMPA's
Classic Stunt and Old-Time Stunt or NASS Sport Jet Speed.
What contests count in the standings: All contests
taking place within Dist. XI or British Columbia,
sanctioned by the Academy of Model Aeronautics or MAAC.
How the points are awarded: Points are awarded to
the top four placers in any event. First place is worth
the number of entries in the event; second place is number
of entries minus 1; third place is number of entries minus
2; fourth place is number of entries minus 3. Example: If
there are 12 entries, first place gets 12 points, second
place 11, third place 10, fourth place 9.
Overall standings: In events with multiple classes,
an overall points tally also is kept. In Speed and Scale,
all classes are combined.
Special notes: Precision Aerobatics fliers' scores
are based on the total number of contestants across the
four skill classes; Profile Stunt scores are based on the
total number of contestants across the two skill classes.
When an individual is allowed more than one entry in a
single event, only the highest-placing score shall be
counted. Events run by nonstandard rules, including
record-ratio events, will be counted only in the overall
standings for the category.
Send contest results, corrections and other
correspondence regarding Northwest Competition Standings
to Standings
Coordinator John Thompson. For a printed copy of
complete current standings for any event, send a
self-addressed, stamped envelope, to Flying Lines,
2456 Quince St., Eugene, OR 97404. For a PDF copy of the
complete current standings for any event, e-mail the
standings coordinator. To see rules of all
Northwest regional events, go to the Flying Lines
Northwest Rules section.
For Academy of Model Aeronautics national event rules,
go to the AMA
web site.
