Glider competition information
Thursday 02 March 2006

Hi fellow modellers

As the ACT are not running any glider competitions this year AND if there is enough interest I am planning on running another glider competition on Sunday 2nd April at the Cooma field. Starting at 10am, finishing 3pm. Entry fee $5.

It will be a 1 flight each of 2, 4, 6, 8 10 min flight to be flown at any time between 10am and 3pm. There will be a 2 channel and an open class. Timing starts at the release of the model from the tow line and finishes the instant the model stops moving on the ground.

Pilots must nominate the flight time before launching. A second attempt will be allowed for each flight time.

In the event of a tie there will be a fly-off of a 10 min flight.

This is intended to be an easy going type comp with everybody helping each other.

Please advise all your glider flyer members. We would love to have a good roll-up. Hopefully the ACT guys that came down a few Sundays back for the thermal round will get a few more of their members interested.

If it is successful I will run another comp in early July and probably make it a thermal/ distance duration type run over a 150 m course. Again I hope to make it a low pressure type event.

Please pass this information on to all glider flyers in your club. Please email me if you have any of your members interested.

Many thanks Rick
