Despite being cloud covered and a little chilly first thing, the rain stayed away and there was lift for at least the latter
part of the event.

Nine souls turned up and four serious members completed 6 rounds.
A Landing task was not included in this event.
Event start was delayed till after 10:00 am due to grass cutting.
The serious contenders were:-
Tim 1393 points
Andy M 999 "
Rob 747 "
Terry K 692 "

A special thanks to Lyle for putting on a BBQ and Andy for churning out the results.

however when I pressed send BELL did not pass it on!

We had some concerns about the forecast winds for
today. Fortunately the high gusts did not materialize.
although the wind was enough to make the spot landing
a challenge, as seen by the results below.
We did however complete all six rounds without disaster.

We had a mix of electric, line launch, and wing spans from 2.5 to 3.8m. Alex and Ann were flying electric. Bob, Tim and Andy were on a Hi Start
The results are posted below showing scores according to rounds completed.

There were some Gremlins as follows: Otakar had Tx battery problems and opted to play safe. Ann had a motor mount problem on round 5 launch and Andy had moved his Supra CG forward resulting in elevator compensation with flap being totally out of wack.

Thanks to Terry and Declan for the BBQ and to all present who helped out.

First Nemanja with 2349 total points.
Second Adam " 2262 " "
Third Ann " 2012 " "
Fourth Andy " 1909 " "
Fifth Lyle " 1162 " "

I failed to start due to gremlins in my aircraft.

Early concerns about weather were unfounded.
Unfortunately thermals were light and scattered.
We reduce task times by one minute to 4, 5, 6,7, 8 & 9 minutes.
Motor on time was also reduced to 20 seconds.]]> Results from Contests and Special Events Mike S https://soggi.ca/community/results-from-contests-and-special-events/soggi-club-ales-contest-results-september-7th-2019/ https://soggi.ca/community/results-from-contests-and-special-events/soggi-club-ales-contest-results-aug-11th-2019/ Mon, 12 Aug 2019 12:11:04 +0000 Thus these results do not contribute to Ales standings.

Never the less we had fun.

Adam Mass came first with 2316 points.
Jim Laslett " " 1870 "

interestingly the points to fourth round were quite close- 1187, 1076, 1040, 851.

Having watched Jim make massive zoom launches, I increased my zoom each launch
until in the fourth round I went for the gusto pulling a massive g load on the ICON 2
resulting in a moon like launch followed by the shedding of the left wing (37" gone on one side)
followed by a death dive at mach 1. Fortunately I was able to recover pretty quickly by going to
cruise mode ( which gave me flaps acting in unison with the ailerons) and I went to max control
rates. This configuration made it quite controllable. I only needed about 1/3 full throw.
(all be at Mach 1).
It came down in a big arc from 400' to ground in ?? seconds (Timer still had his mouth open and
failed to stop the stop watch for my fourth round) Bet it was a record low time.
The ship came past at low altitude but way too fast to go for landing points so I consumed much
of our field to make the landing.

The other high light of the day was Lyles claim of the only tree on the field.
It took him the full contest of practice, but finally he succeeded in snagging
the highest twig. See attached evidence.

Thanks to those that did turn out and especially in helping me (with my gammy leg).

Especially Lyle, who again provided lunch.

I'd like to thank our 7 contestants and the several additional people who acted as timers and/or came as spectators.

Next, we should thank the weatherperson. It didn't rain, the winds were calm-to-moderate, the sun was shining, and the thermals were booming.

The breeze was primarily from the North. Our initial concerns about accommodating enough launching devices within the available space, proved to be unfounded

We should also be glad that Green Horizon's grass mower chose to cut the grass prior to our contest, rather than during our contest. By good luck, we ducked that bullet too.

Thank you Lyle for operating the Bar-B-Que. Lyle undoubtedly sacrificed some of his own potential Contest points in order to take the time to feed the rest of us.

I congratulate all of our contestants. They showed up, they were ready to fly, and fly they did! And actually, THAT was the real point of the exercise.

Contest final standings were as follows:
(Duration, Landings, Totals)

Bob H 2323, 450, 2773
Bob K 1487, 310, 1797
Andy M 1660, 130, 1790
Adam M 1282, 160, 1442
Craig P 1107, 70, 1177
Lyle J 591, 30, 621

The weather co-operated, but as higher winds were forecast for the afternoon we quickly completed 5 rounds before Terry warmed up the BBQ. Thank you in particular to Terry and Declan for manning the BBQ and providing lunch.

Results below. Note that this was a relatively close contest, with all participants scoring within 15% of the winner.
