We will be hosting a Scale and Limited Stunt
contest at the Niagara Falls circle, July 23 .
What is "Limited Stunt" you ask?
The Balsa Beavers have five or six members who
are at the Loops (maybe) and Wing Over stage of the
learning curve but we didn't have any events that
they could enter even though they help at contests.
So in Sept. of 2014 we invented "Limited Stunt".
We didn't want to call it "Beginner Stunt" since
that implies the much more difficult pattern that
includes outside loops, inside squares and overhead
eights. We think that's a lot to expect of real beginners.
Also among the entrants were lifelong scale modelers
who definitely aren't beginners.
The schedule is,
- Take Off
- Level Flight
- Climb & Dive
- Wing Over
- Three Loops (All together or with one lap between loops)
- Optional Maneuver
- Landing
The attachment shows the judging criteria.
Flyers are made aware that level flight might
sound easy but those laps had better look
LEVEL!
Our first contest was great fun, so we're doing it
again, but we've added an "Optional Maneuver"
so that entrants can show their progress.
Please see the attachment for the score sheet,
Or go to BalsaBeavers.ca for information and directions.
Everyone is welcome at Niagara Falls ( AMA or MAAC required)
or if you have some suggestions, we'd like to hear them.
Cheers! - Keith Morgan
