Annual Worldwide Ringmaster Fly-A-Thon
« on: September 07, 2012, 02:07:55 AM »
The 5th Annual Worldwide Ringmaster Fly-A-Thon is less that a month away (Oct. 6th-7th)!![

It is time to dig out you Ringmasters and get ready. As you may know the Fly-A-Thon is FREE, there is no registration and there are no prizes. It is just a celebration of Control Line flying WORLDWIDE!!!

If you or your group are planning to participate please reply to this thread. If you are willing to let others join you, post the information that will allow them to contact and coordinate with you.

I have attached files that give the rules to this post. They are the same just different formats.

Thanks in advance!!!

My son and I will be participating. We will be flying a Wen-Mac .049 powered Baby Ringmaster, Fox 35 powered S-1, and a Enya 19 powered S-1A that I'm just finishing. It has adjustable leadouts and a weight box. Should be fun!

If anyone is thinking of setting records (yes we do keep track) you need to exceed:

428 flights by a group at one site (set in 2010 by the Alameda, CA Aer-O-Nuts)

71 flights by an individual flier (set in 2011 by Dee Rice from Houston, TX)

Don't feel that you need to set records! Just go out and fly a Ringmaster and have fun!!  y1
