RMAC Fun Fly Competition – Held Sat 3rd July 2010-07-05
The competition consisted 3 events:
- Climb and Glide
- Touch and Go
- Team Relay event using a Club Trainer
The weather could not have been better. Slight breeze in a very favourable direction with good clear sky and some cloud. In short it was one of the best flying days of the year. The turn out to the event was a bit disappointing but we went ahead to plan.
Climb and Glide
The Climb and Glide really sorted out those who had engines that would not stop. Usually we want them to keep going! Result:
1st Craig Cundy – Time 7mins and 5 seconds (Aircraft Ripmax Nova Trainer with OS46LA engine. A superb effort all round.
2nd David Wilk (guest of Craig Cundy) 4 min 18 sec
3rd Nigel Cundy 4 mins 17 secs
Jamie Harrold (junior club member) should be mentioned here as he used a Low wing model not ideal for this type of comp. He had never tried anything like this before and achieved a notable 2mins and 59 seconds. Very well done.
Simon Webb never did get his engine to stop and had to give up. I nearly lost sight of my own Limbo dancer. Next time I will try binoculars. I was 4th with 4 min 10 sec.

5 points touch outside circle
10 Points for touch in the Outer Circle
