4th June Club Night

Morning all.

We've decided to run a bit of an informal competition on the next club night (June the 4th).no  It shall be a Limbo competition.

There shall be no restriction on what models can be flown in the competition, helicopters, multirotors, fixed wing, gliders, anything!  The rules are simple:  

• There shall be a limbo ribbon strung across the strip, at around 6 feet above the ground.  
  
• Pilots shall fly one at a time, and they shall take off, and when ready they shall start their limbo attempts by shouting "GO!"
  
• When Go is shouted, a 2 minute timer shall begin.  
  
• The number of successful passes under the tape shall be counted within the 2 minute period by an officially appointed judge.
  
• whomever gets the most successful passes, wins.
  

Oh, and a successful limbo pass shall be one that passes under the ribbon (and does not break it, or pass above it!).  The passes will only count going in one direction that shall be determined by the wind direction on the day. (so you will either need to do a pass and then a circuit, or a loop to come back under the tape from the same direction). Touching the floor on a limbo pass voids that pass too.

Bonus points will be available for the most entertaining flight of the evening...

Andy

Good shout, Im in

Me too...

Defo!

sounds good..

Touching the floor on a limbo doesnt score also

sounds good, I am in !

The weather is looking alright for Thursdays limbo competition guys!

Yeah !
Are we stringing burger buns up and limbo-ing under those ?

I'll use Jems fun fly thingy

Are we doing some 250 racing.... maybe through some larger hoops than the underground one's....

Possibly, yes. We shall be running the limbo competition from about 6-6.30pm, but I'm sure there will be plenty of gaps for flying other stuff. Are you going to have a go at the Limbo with your 250?

Andy

ummmm.. I doubt it Mr Sayle.

Why not?

6 - 6.30 might be a bit early for those working. For me its a very good day when I can get there by 6

haven't learnt the master of rolls with the quads as yet but I may have a blast. but I am fetching the new 550 for maiden. would you be bringing your laptops and lead........

I wont have my laptop sorry (already left without it) I may struggle to get to the field at a good time to so the limbo comp will have to go ahead without me

The limbo comp shall be running until everyone who wants to enter, enters. With a cutoff point of dark o clock.

I'll bung my laptop in the car Andy

Great day /evening down at the strip - good turnout, and nice to see a few more members having a go at the fun comp - keep at it guys we need more entrants for the next round of inter-club events.
Was well pleased with my re-fitted PC9 - flew, sounded, and looked a treat in the air.
Going down as a v successful days fun , and thanks to Rich for the barby of course.

Good night. Pleased with my win in limbo, thanks Zaidy for the loan of the plane. Tim was DQ for using gyro stabilization.
