Day Itinerary & Times
1000 to 1330 General Flying
1215 to 1245 Hot Sandwiches Served
1330 to 1500 Fun Fly Events
1500 to 1630 General Flying
The club chairman will also be providing hot roast beef sandwiches at lunchtime. These will be served between 1215 and 1245.
To assist with catering, it is asked that members and guests please let us know if they require a sandwich, by completing the short online form (link below). It only takes a few seconds.
The idea is to try and encourage club members to get together for one day of the year, to partake in some light-hearted safe flying, with a few fun fly events thrown in.
There will be a few small prizes for the winners of the various events.
Fun Fly
The events for this year will be as below. The events will commence at 1330.
- ETA Fixed Wing, Helicopters & Multi Rotor
Draw a time from a hat (can be anything from 90 to 150 seconds). Flyer has to take off and land, trying to land in a time, as near as possible to the time drawn from the hat. Winner is the pilot who lands the nearest to their time. Time starts from when the wheels or skids (helicopters / multi rotor) leave the ground and ends when they wheels/skids touch back down (no transmitter timers or watches allowed). - Touch & Go Fixed Wing
The pilot will take off from a marked area (approximately 15 metres square) and complete as many touch and goes in a 2 minute time slot. The aircraft wheels must touch in the marked area and the aircraft must complete a full circuit between each touch down. - Limbo Fixed Wing
A tape (crepe paper) will be placed across the two limbo poles. Each pilot will have 3 attempts to fly under the tape and between the 2 poles. Only pilots managing to get under the tape will progress to the next round. The tape will be gradually lowered at the commencement of each round. The winner will be the pilot who flies under the lowest tape level.
Lets hope the weather is kind to us and we see a good turn out for the day.
