Comp results and report.

With 20 entries I was looking forward to a fun comp at the Horsham field. Unfortunately, due to a number of reasons, 5 could not come and they missed all the fun. Luckily, we had planned to have 3 slots of 7 so we managed to not have to re-matrix.

With everyone there early we got the flying underway at 9:45 to be sure that any rain that may turn up late afternoon as forecasted would not cause any issues with the comp. All the equipment and computer timing worked faultlessly and despite most people flying or timing in every slot everyone was ready to go and all slots were flown out.

Conditions with light westerly wind and broken cloud looked like it would be an easy day with some low launching. However, this is the Horsham field and nothing is a given with many slots not playing to the scripted needing a lot of searching and moving from week thermal to week thermal to get to the end of the slot. Thermals got better throughout the day until the last round when it started to get difficult again.

As the last slot landed a short shower of rain fell, perfect timing. Models and pilots headed for the cover of the trees and our field hut to pack up while the team set about getting the equipment away. After the shower all competitors were still at the field and it was good to see you all for the price giving. Full results are published below but the top three were; Colin Paddon first with 5000, 1.8 points ahead of Graham Wicks and Colin Lucas third.

Good fun day was had by all. Thanks to the Horsham club for the use of the field and for manning the gate.

I’ll try to avoid being near you as your flying is lacking in consideration for others and your model. You fail to shut down your motor when the model is out of control or damaged you bring it close to the other pilots instead of landing it quickly and safely away from others.  You have written off 3 ( maybe you’re a better repairer than me) in the last contests we were at.  I speak not just from my heart but from my brain which says someone must save you from a major if not fatal disaster. 

Not sure what this rant is about but this topic is for entering the Horsham comp. Anytning else should be delt with else where please.
