Comp held on the the NE slope of Rodborough
Common in a sunny but cold breeze.
3 rounds consisting of 3 flyers were held
followed by a 4 model final.
Dave Payne had the fastest flight of 1min 20
secs for the 10 leg course.
Phil Fridge flew the 2nd fastest at 1 min 45
secs.
There were a few landings out midway thro`
the course but relaunches were allowed.
The usual variable flying conditions seemed
to favour those with proper models, although Andy D did fly his Zagi.
Dave Payne used his Calypso, carefully
landing it behind the slope by the football field.
Phil flew a Prodij and Pete G used his hand
launch type Eliminator.
So, congrats to the winners and those who
reached the final. Thanks also to all the timers & flaggers.
I just need to find the SCSA Boxing Day
Trophy so it can be properly presented to Dave !
