Title: Ringmaster Fly-A-Thon
Post by: John Cralley on September 04, 2009, 07:40:11 AM
This time next month (Oct 3-4) is the big Ringmaster Fly-A-Thon!!!!  #^ See the listing in the "Events" forum below. I'm sure bunches of you have one or more Ringmasters sitting around and can join in the fun. Even if you don't have one of your own you can get together with a friend and put up some flights with their RM!! The idea is to see just how many flights can be put up, worldwide, and how many different pilots can get in one or flights. The data will be collected and analyzed by Richard Grogan. All Ringmasters are eligible including "variants" (Baby, Jr., Sportster, scaled up, scaled down etc.)!! No prizes for this event - just bragging rights!! My flying buddy, Jim Swearingen, and I plan to have a little Ringmaster S-1 "pursuit combat." Pursuit combat is where one person flies straight and level and the pursuer makes passes at their streamer (kind of tame but at 77 my reaction times are a bit OFF). We take turns being the drone. Heck, do a full combat match if you are so inclined!!  VD~  Even if you are at a contest that first weekend in October, bring a Ringmaster and put up some flights in the "practice" circle. Round up some other competitors and get them on the handle. Half a dozen pilots during the same flight counts as 6 pilots and one flight -- so stuff the ballot box.

The email address for reporting results is listed in the announcement in the "Events" forum.

So get out with a Ringmaster and have fun!!
