We are having our fall contest the weekend of the 20th and the 21st in October. Carrier is scheduled for Sat but we can run over into Sun if we need to. We are having Class I and II combined, Profile, 15, and Nostalgia. We will also fly any other flights for top twenty scores if you would like to. We have been slowly but steadily growing and this spring I think we were up to 9 Carrier pilots and we are expecting around 12 for this one.  

Sorry but for some reason I can't upload the flyer but you can email me or ask on here for more info.

Thanks
David

I dont have the complete results but as soon as i get them i will post them here. We had a great time even though we only had 6 contestants. I am also trying to get some more pics because i forgot to take hardly any but here are the ones that i did get. The first is Sarahs biplane that I am trying to get to fly good enough for her to fly but it is just being a pain. I managed a high speed that was every which way but straight and level and was still around 70 I think. A low speed that wasn't much slower and a final skid across the deck trying to make a landing. Second is Sarah and her pink skyray that she flew very well, I even had to give her 2 warnings on one flight. I was definitely proud of her. The third pic is from after the contest on Sunday a small group of us go down to one of the club members houses and just play around til dark then we have a little cook out. There is a little pond next to the flying circle and I have wanted to try this for a while and this time the wind was finally in my favor.

Okay I get that it's a carrier plane and okay with the water but

WHERE THE HECK IS THE BOAT?

Well there might have been a duck in the pond somewhere...

I think David's been watching too many Joe Nall videos!

I think you might be right. I have been there a couple times and seen many pilots put the tail in the water so i saw water and the perfect oppurtunity.

Here are some more pics from the contest.
1. The Guardian in the back is John Saunders. Brodak kit with a TT36. I think he came down from Pennsylvania. The little guardian is a scaled down version of the Brodak kit done by Watt Moore and the big one in front is also Watt Moores. Watts 15 had an O.S. Max 15 and big Guardian had an O.S. 35AX
2. Richard Schneiders group consisted of a Wildcat that if I remember correctly he said started out life as a Shoestring with a TT36 and his 15 that also started out as a Shoestring and morphed into a Fairey Barracuda with a Super Tigre 15.
3. On the left is the Shoemakers line up. They had 2 Brodak Guardians, one with a TT36 and one with a Fox 36, a Bill Caulkins designed Sea Vampire with a GMS 32, 2 Class 2 Fairey Fulmars one electric and one with a K&B 61, a Nostalgia Class 2 Myrt with K&B 61, a 15 Fi-?(I dont remember the number) Firefly, and electric 15 Bf109.
4. Pink Skyray is obviously Sarahs with O.S. 32 SX and a line slider. Yellow and Blue Skyray is mine and has the same engine that Sarahs has but no line slider. Blue and white MO-1 is mine however i didnt fly it because i noticed the throttle and up lines were frayed at one end. it has a reverse rotation Wiley 36. Then the white biplane is Sarahs but i flew it in profile. It is from plans done by Bill Darkow and Phil? I cant remember the last name. It is a Curtiss F7C Seahawk, reverse rotation Nelson 36 conversion.
