Welcome! Additional information concerning the 2010 FAC/SOGGI Freeflight Series will be posted here, as it becomes available.
A Three Day Series
Tigertown squadron of the Flying Aces Club and the Southern Ontario Glider Group invites you to our 6th annual freeflight event.
This year for the first time we have planned the event as a Series, to be flown on 3 widely-spaced dates with accumulated scoring. The Series dates are Sunday June 13, Thursday August 26, and Sunday September 26. There will be no rain dates.
FAC contest categories will be organized wherever interest exists, based on your prior feedback to us.
Or come and fly just for the fun of it !.
Beginners are very welcome ... come and meet the most interesting people in the world. Find out what works and what doesn't.
To keep the neighbours happy, dethermalizers will be needed and regretably internal combustion models cannot be accomodated. Most other classes of freeflights are welcome (Rubber, gliders, CO2, compressed air, Jetex, Rapier, electric etc).
Registration
Participants will be asked to register on each date, and show a valid MAAC or AMA Membership Card.
A nominal attendance-fee charged on each date will be accumulated, and then awarded on the final date as contest prize money.
Flying will begin each day at 8:00 AM and continue until conditions dictate otherwise.
In case of un-flyable weather, to reward those dedicated freeflighters who do show up, the attendance fees from that particular day will be redirected to cover their gate admission at the nearby Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum . The Museum is truly a gem, so your day won't be wasted !
A "thank you for keeping the economy humming" scoring handicap will be awarded to FAC competitors who must work at their paying job on Thursday August 26, and will therefore miss competing on that date of the series. If this is your case, please let us know in advance so we can adjust your scoresheet.
Location
The event site will be a medium sized sod farm located near Mt. Hope (vicinity of Hamilton).
Maps and directions to the site will be provided once site selection is finalized.
