Below a flight log from a flight with my electric shadow. It is fitted with an anti zoom height limiter but was way over the 10% limit 10 seconds after motor cut which switched off at 190 metres to allow for the 11m/s climb. I stalled it at 225 metres then hit strong lift

Midland Area Comp at Pillerton Hersey Sept 16th
Hi Folks
A bit late with my report (not very good at these sort of things) As Bernie said a bit of a blow, the forecast was for 5/6mph winds but I am sure it was more like 12/15mph cloud but no rain. I am told that lift was to be found and as some slots went to 10mins there must have been just not for me? I am sorry that some of you had problems with finding the field but pleased that you all made it in the end (it was a ploy to fool the southerners but glad that it did not work) It was a pleasure to welcome some new faces and some old friends The comp ran well specially with the help of Marlene, at lunch after 4 rounds we had joint leaders with both Mike Barnett and John Richards with 3000AND Martin Bell third on 2903 The 2mtr class was close with Cliff on 2250 and Gordon on 2123 The final results Martin has posted A few of names to look out for in the future are John Richards very experienced and I think the biggest challenger to Mike B in the future Phil Hayward a new name to esoaring but has done very well in his first two comps Bernie Jones will be good when he leans to fly (his new Supra that is) James Morrison a young lad who will be beating us all before we know it I hope you all had as good a day as I did and we look forward to seeing some of you at Dunston next month Thanks for all your support Bruce Photos: Mick picking up his prize an engraved glass, Mick launching for Cliff, plus the log from one of my flights and the results The flight log is checked to stop Zooming and extra motor runs,

Editors comment These comps are great fun and very friendly,
you can fly in the 2 Metre class with an Easy Glider or Radian,
the launch is 40 seconds of motor run for the smaller class to
reach 200 metres |
