Summer Thermal Series
Last year's attempt to run this comp was unsuccessful mainly due
to the flying venue being changed to Kings Park. You will note
a few changes in this year's rules but please let me know if you
can think of anything else to get more members taking part.
Rules
1. Any type of glider may be used and it may be changed throughout
the series.
2. Launching will be by bungee or towline and there is no restriction
on length.
3. There is no spot landing requirement but, in the interests
of safety, the model must land in the area in which it was launched,
avoiding car parks, roads, houses and special features such as
the sea cadet area and football ground.
4. All flights must take place after 6pm on any Friday evening.
Any number of attempts may be made either at Stanpit or Kings
Park.
5. Flight maximums will be May 6mins, June 7mins, July 8mins,
August 9mins and September 10mins. There is no penalty for overflying
the maximum.
6. Timekeeping is to be carried out by another member of the C&DMFC
and must start from the model's release from the tow.
7. Details of your best flight each month to be handed to a committee
member with the following details:- Name, date, launch time, flight
