Report:

The competition was held on Minchinhampton Common in very good conditions for a change, this being the first we have managed to run since March, also this was our first electric comp and there was a bit of a learning curve with the motor run times, I think it was just about right by the third and final round.

The comp was a simple duration with specified motor run times to gain height and then try to fly out the 5 minute slot time and land in the spot within the 5 minute any overfly would loose the spot bonus. If we run another electric comp next year the motor run times need a bit of tweaking to allow for the differences between lipo and nicad batteries due the weight difference, but on saying that I think all enjoyed the comp and thanks to all who turned up.

Peter's take off, vertical performance with 3 li-polys to powerful brushless motor	Brian's spot landing, it was important to hit the spot to gain the landing bonus
