Ten pilots each flew two rounds, which comprised a 20 second power climb and then glide, aiming for a maximum score of 5 minutes with 10 seconds added for landing on a designated area of the patch.
Times from the first two rounds were added together to give an overall time.
The scores were then levelled & the top five pilots then competed in a fly off for the top three places.

26 members turned out for the Scale Day yesterday. A cloudy start turned into a bright and sunny day with lots of flying, good company and a super spread of food provided, once again, by Angie

Members voted for the best static and flying scale model

The scale cup was awarded to Chris B for his Corsair and Ian H was awarded the best static aircraft for his Spitfire, which unfortunately had technical issues and so didn't fly.

Thank you to all for attending and to Angie & Nigel for the catering and event organisation


Today 25 members along, with friends turned out for the 2024 Bungee Gliding Competition and the Dave Perrett Cup. With a Northerly breeze straight across the crosswind runway, it made for an interesting setup for the Bungee Launch.
The event comprised of 2 rounds, with both times from each round totalled to see which of the top 5 pilots would go through to round 3 for the fly-off.

17 members took part and times would start once the bungee was released from the glider. Pilots aimed to max out at 6 mins with a 10sec bonus if they made it back to the designated area of the patch denoted by the cones. The wind made it difficult to get back & finding lift was challenging at times.
5 pilots were made it through: Ian H, Adam R, Dave B, Gordon B & Andy R made it through with scores now reset, everything was to play for..

1st- Gordon 5m 41secs
2nd- Ian 3m 33secs
3rd- Adam 2m 19secs

Many thanks goes to Dave DeM for assistance with time keeping, all those who retrieved the bungee.
