Midland esoaring

Hi
Just a short report on the comp
The start was delayed by fog that lifted about 10.30 during the wait it was amazing to see Jimmy the farmer and his friend Chris take off in the fog to fly off to get breakfast at another airfield
When the fog lifted it was wall to wall sunshine and no wind for the morning ,when flying did get started lift was very light and so difficult to find
Flying was stopped when Jimmy and Chris returned to land so the opportunity was taken to have a lunch break and also to allow one of the farm hands to rake the newly cut grass in the flying area
After lunch the wind speed went up to about 6/7 mph so some people changed models (Martin will post results later)
I would like to thank Bob for the help he gave to Richard Sells on Richards first comp
When you see the results read Richard Sells 2mtr in place of James Morrison open
Thanks again are due to Marlene and Teresa for their help
During my report on the Pillrton comp I mentioned some names to look out for you will see from the results how good my predictions were
Look forward to seeing you at next years comps
Thanks for all your supports
Cheers Bruce

The flat field duration local record stands at 1 hour 9 minutes for this year by Sqeela with his Electric Shadow. on Minchinhampton common from 150 metre launch.
My AVA did a longer flight but was flown by 4 people 

This is for hand launched, bungee or one short motor run on a flat field without the use of slope lift

Newly listed items 

Clearing through my garage to make some room I came across a bungee complete with line and parachute, two hand tow winches, one with an extended handle and 100 lbs breaking strain line for those gorilla launches so important back in my active BARCS days.
 
The thing is these are now surplus to requirements and I would like too offer them to either the SCSA or any deserving soul who can make use of them.
 
I now live in Stone but still work in Nailsworth Monday to Wednesday, who ever wants them I'm happy for them to collect.
 
Regards, Paul.
