3/14/09 - Catapult Glider Contest
|
After a busy morning of flying in great Southern California weather, we ordered pizza and soft drinks to the field. Once we enjoyed the food we began assembling our catapult gliders provided by Jim Buck. Once each of us had their glider flying and trimmed out (ok, some of us could have used more time), we separated pilots in groups of three by drawing numbers. We flew four rounds and points were awarded based on landing order (e.g. first glider down earned one point, while the last glider down in the group earned three points). A fly-off was held for the top four pilots. The result of the top six pilots were: 1st Place - Bud Matthews Since we all had a lot of fun, be prepared to trim your catapult gliders next month for another event. Jim Buck |
