Club Events, aka fun fly:
At the conclusion of a club meeting, a combination of flying and car/truck events will take place starting in May 2021. For each event, competitive or participation type, a participant will earn one point and the winner of the event will earn two points. When weather disrupts flying, such as high winds, a car/truck event may be the only category we will have.
The Airplane events planned are: T-34 Pylon Race, Unlimited Pylon Race, Foamy Infield Pylon Race, Gladiator/Streamer combat flight, Glider duration flight, Formation Flight and Flying Gates.
The Car/Truck events planned as of March are: Drag Racing, Figure Eight and Oval Race, Car/Truck Soccer, Road Race and Jump Competition.
One or two categories, flying or car/truck events will be offered. In the event members show no interest in a fun fly than the field will open to general activities.
At the Christmas Party the participant with highest points will win all of the entry money. A tie will be broken with a flip of a coin.
Entry fee of $5.00 covers all flying and car/truck events for the day. Members that do not participate in the car/truck event can sign up for just airplane. However, two separate money awards collected payout only in the category signed up on. The Car/Truck, Airplane is one category and the other will be for airplane only.
