Nicholls posted a topic in Kent Interclub
Note both the OPEN F5J including everyone who flew and the KI Members only individual and Team results are attached. Kent Interclub Electric League 2023 Both of the two rounds were flown the first after twice being cancelled. Electric 2 on 18 June only attracted 14 flyers which I believe was due to holidays that some take around this time. Congratulations Congratulations to the OPEN and KI Winner Richard Harris and the KI Best Team Bromley Club Individual OPEN and KI 2nd Keith Fisher and OPEN 3rd Garry Matthews, KI 3rd Peter Mitchell Team 2nd Tonbridge and 3rd Invicta Entrants were 24 (including 3 guests) down 1 from 2022 Thanks go to: · Gravesend, Invicta, SADMAC, and Tonbridge 4 clubs that generously provide the fields · The 10 membership Clubs.

Full details and entry will be on the BARCS – Aircraft - Kent Interclub Forum This is an open competition and non Kent club members are very welcome (entry fee £5). The rules are BARCS Multilaunch for Electric launch gliders. Electric Gliders must be fitted with an AMRT (height limiter) which cuts the motor at 30 secs and records the launch height. Electric launch height of 175m with a penalty of 3 pts per metre for Electric launches exceeding it. Most pilots will want to set AMRTs to cut a little below 175m. It is fine instead to use F5J.
