New Year Flyin - 2 January 2012 - Dave Stewart
New years fun day Ali Newman
New
Year’s
fun
in
was
held
on
Tuesday
day
2nd
January
2012
at
the
Concord
flying
site.
Concord
invited
Bickley
MFC
to
the
event.
Paul
and
Brian
run
their
Barbeque
on
the
day.
The
event
consisted
of
dropping
a
Clementine
on
to
a
marker
on
the
patch,
and
the
distance
from
the
marker
to
where
the
Clementine
landed
was
measured.
The
Clementine
is
dropped
from
a
cup
fitted
to
the
top
of
the
model
or
from
custom
built
servo
operated
dropping
unit
which
were
made
by
two
keen
competitors. These custom units were fitted to the underside of the model aircraft.
Results
1st Gary Rand 4 metres 41 cm
2nd Daniel Dos Santos 9 metres
3rd Steve Killgallon 12 paces
4th Bob Ryan 14 paces
5th Peter Beaumont 22 paces
6th Neil Bradshaw 24 paces
7th Steve Brett 26 paces
8th Paul Monshall 38 paces
9th Brian Horsfall Edge of Patch
Dave Harrison
10th Andy Seingier , Ian Cambell , Alex Stanley
Martin Piper, Bill Wheeler, Jon Young, Geof Howes,
Ali Newman, Sam Bradley, plus all the others we did not write down.
The
day
started
with
an
early
morning
trip
to
Morrison’s
supermarket
for
the
Clementines
and
plastic
cups.
Morrison’s
breakfast
was
tempting,
but
needed
to
get
to
the
field
to
organise
the
competition.
Arrived
at
the
field
10.30am
to
find
my
fellow
organiser
Neil
Bradshaw
already
there
.
Neil
had
offered
his
Avicraft
Prangster
as
the
buddy
box
aircraft
which
we
equipped
with
a
mode
1
and
a
mode
2
transmitter.
A
bit
of
testing
showed
that
the
Clementine
tended
to
stick
in
the
cups,
unless they were broken open to allow the juice to escape and ease their exit.
The
barbeque
men
arrived
just
after
12noon,
and
plenty
of
people
arrived
to
eat
and
fly.
The
Bickley
club
lads
were
the
first
to
have
a
go
at
the
competition
but
suffered
with
accuracy.
Gary
Rand
was
the
first
Concord
competitor
and
he
put
the
Prangster
through
some
wild
contortions
and
with
sheer
skill
the
Clementine
left
the
cup
and
landed
just
over
the
four
metres
from
the
marker.
From
this
point
on
plenty
of
pilots
had
a
go,
but
no
one
could
get
as
close
to
the
marker
as
Gary,
even
the
pilots
with
servo
operated
release
units.
Some
pilots
having
missed
the
patch
on
their
first
attempt,
were
offered
extra
attempts.
The
last
to
fly
was
Steve
Killgallon,
who
won
last
year’s
New
Day
event
with
his
flying
bird
which
was
not
equipped
with
ailerons.
But
as
it
was
windy
this
year
Steve
used
his
electric
Wot4
equipped
with
a
servo
operated
release.
We all watched his attempt, but all to no avail, it was not as close as his first attempt.
The
prize
a
magnum
of
Champaign
donated
by
Mick
Abrahams,
which
was
won
by
Gary
Rand.
I
would
like
to
thank
every
body who attended, helped or competed on the day, it was a good start to 2012. Ali
