Jon_E Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Well I need not have worried about the slope to be on; the SW winds did not arrive. But Southerly ones did! Yeehaa, south bowl it was. Still we had a slight wait until the wind reached the magical legal limit, but from then on it was all go. The later start and earlier lighting up time meant we couldn't complete as many rounds as last time, but still managed a creditable 7, at a rate of one very half hour, which was good going for the eager 16 pilots. Mark Treble's new Android software completed its first full competition, which apart from giving the results the instant the last man flew, will allow smart phones to log on and view live scoring. Great work Mark. And finally the results. Mark Redsell won, Martin Newnham second and a terrific third place for Paul Upton. ( New fatherly duties have kept him away from the slope of late, so congratulations to Paul ). FTD when to Martin with a 50.85. Well done guys. Summary results are :- 1 Mark Redsell 5973.700 1000 2 Martin Newnham 5807.170 972 3 Paul Upton 5601.860 938 4 Peter Gunning 5600.310 937 5 Greg Dakin 5520.040 924 6 Ronnie Lampe 5510.370 922 7 Mark Treble 5486.630 918 8 Rich Bago 5452.910 913 9 Jon Edison 5259.540 880 10 Neil Shead 5116.210 856 11 Keith Wood 5106.760 855 12 John Tideswell 5020.060 840 13 George Young 4940.430 827 14 Roger Groves 4583.690 767 15 Bob Dickenson 4350.980 728 16 Roy Hampshire 3954.280 662 Thanks to everyone for their help.

Peter G Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 A good day out, thanks Jon & Mark. I look forward to logging in for live scores in future. I had good fun experimenting and swapping models in the light air. Learnt a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royski Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Only my second comp with my sub 2 meter model and even though my times are not setting the world on fire I am really enjoying the flying and learning plenty (good confidence builder as well). For anyone thinking of giving it a go I would say "do it", its not easy but it's also not as hard as you may think and it really is good fun. Thanks Jon & Mark for a well run comp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John T Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 A good day (when the sun came out), good flying and good company. I hope the last two guys made it off the slope ok in the dark...... Reminds me that i need a bit more dedication for 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_r Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 A good day (when the sun came out), good flying and good company. I hope the last two guys made it off the slope ok in the dark...... Reminds me that i need a bit more dedication for 2015. Yes, even a white model looks black eventually. Nice to have the chance to tear about the slope though - 5min climb-out rather than 30s has some advantages... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin_N Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Thanks again everyone for a great days flying, although we wasn't ripping up the slope with sub forties it was still quality racing. Well done Mark and great to see Paul Upton out for a bit of fresh air still showing he hadn't lost his touch. Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Dakin Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Great day out - congrats to Mark, Martin and Paul for showing the way, and to Jon and helpers for hosting a slick event. The conditions experienced always make me realise just how poor my flying is in 3m/s on a low compression ridge - so challenging to fly a model efficiency around the course and hit the bases without scrubbing speed......lots to learn. Cheers Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon_E Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 What a forecast! But is it flyable? Well probably, and that is why I am calling the comp ON! As long as we can stand up on Levisham it should be fun :-) Ok, meet at Levisham, it clearly is on there, at 9:30 with a view to starting as soon as the rain blows through See in the morning Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
