Hey all,
Posted below is a compilation of all the competition results so far in 2022.
26th Feb 2022 Club Fun Fly Competitions (Loops & Land / Climb & Glide)
Loops and Land, where we had a minute from wheels off to perform as many loops as possible. A loop was deducted for every second over or under the minute when the model touched down. Gavin was being kind as it was the first comp of the year and counted us all down the minute, meaning we didn't have to count as well!!
Name Loops Time Total Position
David C 38 1.04 34 1st
Neil W 32 1.03 29 2nd

Richard C 12 1.00 12 7th
Richard P 11 1.27 -16 8th
Climb and Glide where we had 15 seconds to climb then cut power and glide for as long as possible. A 10% bonus was given for getting back to the strip without opening the throttle too, which was a little tricky with the southerly wind!

19th March 2022 Club Fun Fly Competitions (Triple Thrash / Mastermind Just a Minute)
Mastermind Just a Minute - Nice and silly one to start off with! The pilots had to fly for as close to a minute as possible, which they judged themselves, but while they were flying they were being asked a series of general knowledge questions for extra points. Penalties for landing early of late were given and a bonus for touching in a 6ft square were also available. Many thanks to Gavin's wife, Hattie for providing the sealed questions at a suitable intellectual level for us!!

Very well done to Richard, great flying. It certainly proves that Fun Fly improves your flying and confidence!
Triple Thrash - Very quick comp, with a Take off, Touch & Go, 2 Loops, 3 Rolls and land in the shortest time. A bonus for landing in the square was also given. Some 'interesting' flying in that strong wind!
