The Philly Fliers traditionally hold their contest the last weekend of July. This year, 2022, July 30, 31. In the last five years, we have hosted at two locations. Saturday at Neshaminy State Park, Bensalem PA, Sunday at Benjamin Rush State Park, Philadelphia, PA. Both locations are within a few miles of each other. Lots of hotels in Northeast Philly and Bensalem. We plan to hold this contest. Events and event dates will be determined soon. By end of February we will have decided which events will happen on Saturday, which on Sunday. In the past we have flown PAMPA, Old Time and Profile. Hope to see you there.

I know the Brodak Fly-in will have Scale competition but are there any other contests being planned in the Northeast that have CL Scale?

In the last few years I've been putting this together, i have not had a Scale meet on it.
I will update this as a few more sanctions have been submitted. I will also place traditional datesvin their slots but list them as not confirmed /tentative.

Regarding the lack of scale events, I heard this same complaint from another scale builder. One idea I have is inviting a scale pilot to a "practice contest" at our field in Northern Virginia. The idea is that the concepts of scale presentation and judging would be demonstrated. We had a similar presentation on stunt / old time stunt last year, which helped our annual contest run smoothly.
Myself, about the only things I know about scale are that entrants should bring 3-views and, when flying, demonstrate a flight feature. And even those perceptions may be wrong. Yes, I could read the rule book, but a demo would be more fun.
had to share,
Peter

Thanks for compiling this Tom! If you live on the norhtern half of the East Coast and are willing to drive a few hours there is no lack of flying entertainment going on.

Does anyone have updates or additions to this?
