SCSA News


Monday

I flew at the Standish field in the afternoon the lift was OK but the breeze a little strong for my Starlight
Lift was good at Haresfield

Tuesday
I went to Haresfield to poke a Zagi out of a tree, it had found the highest tree to perch in. 
Lift was OK but not strong. 
 Later in the afternoon I went to Minch, the lift was very strong
 
Wednesday
 
The SCSA was won by Chris Bishop, Chris flew his home brew electric glider, a nice model and well flown

Photo: CB's small power plane flown after the comp


Thursday
Dangerously strong lift at times, My F3J AVA was getting sucked up towards a big cloud, brake on, full up and full rudder failed to spin it down, a vertical dive without the brake saved it. If I had entered the bottom of the cloud I would have lost, as I would not have been able hold the vertical dive.
Spinning or flying inverted will bring a model down without over stressing it usually


Friday
Haresfield again

Saturday
Smooth lift at Frocester, Alan King's Phase 6 got very high in one thermal

Sunday 
best forgotten
