 The
annual Building Contest, traditionally held on Opening Day, was
underway. The turnout was great and it was a beautiful day for flying.
This year there were eleven entries, ranging from scratch built WWI
bi-planes to aerobatic /3D capable ARFs. As
the contest got underway, proud owners displayed their work for the
judges. Every plane, regardless of how well built and detaled, must
fly! The rules clearly state that a qualifying flight will consist of a
takeoff, a 360° turn, and a controlled landing. In
past years, some entries were reluctantly disqualified because they
were unable to perform the required air maneuvers. This year, however,
all planes met the requirements. The entries were judged by club
members in a members-choice format. An award will be given to each
member entering a model. The three models in each category with the
most votes will be recognized as first, second, and third. Categories
include scale, non-scale, old timers, almost ready to fly (ARF), and
unorthodox.
