Indoor Flying with the O.F.F.C.
Posted: Thu May 25, 2017 7:17 pm
The Old Farts Flying Club meets every Wednesday morning at the Stonehurst Recreation Center gym, 9901 Dronfield Avenue, Sun Valley, California, for a club meeting and indoor flying session. There is a contest on the last meeting of the month. Spectators, prospective members, and desperate fliers are welcome.
This year's contest schedule is:
Jan 28 P-18 (postponed to Feb 01 per CD)
Feb 22 Minnow R.O.G.
Mar 29 Mini-Stick
Apr 26 Catapult Glider
May 31 No-Cal Pusher
Jun 14 Spot Landing and Predicted Time Flight (Outdoors)
Jun 28 Legal Eagle
Jul 26 Penny Plane
Aug 30 Peanut Scale
Sep 27 Embryo
Oct 25 One Design
Nov 29 Bostonian
Dec 27 R.O.G. Unlimited
Note: CDs may make modifications to established rules for a given contest. These are usually announced at the first meeting of the month.
Judging by what was being test flown and trimmed at the O.F.F.C. session yesterday the No-Cal Pusher contest, next Wednesday (5/31), will be a very interesting contest. There will be at least three Hansa Jets, three F7U Cutlass, a J7W Shinden, a Vari-Viggen, and an early bird canard that I have not been able to identify. (Of course, I could have asked.) Of nothing interrupts my building this weekend (Like, when does that ever happen?) I will have either an A7 Corsair II or a J37 Viggen to to along with my Cutlass.
If anyone will be in the Southern California area next Wednesday morning you are welcome to drop by Stonehurst Recreation Center. The meeting is at 9:00 AM, and the contest starts at 10.
