This is a fun event and we encourage members to take part; it is an opportunity to bring out models which are not used regularly and, as such, it should also be an enjoyable event for spectators - friends and family are welcome.
Members are free to fly any models on the day – the Parish Council has been notified of the event so I.C. models which have a noise test certificate are permitted between 12:00 and 16:00
Event Format and Rules
-
The event is open to any club member with model(s) that resemble a full-size aircraft. There is no requirement for true scale fidelity – i.e. models will not be judged by measurement or comparison with a photograph. Club members (including the competitors) judge the models (see below).
-
Each entrant may enter a maximum of three models.
-
On arrival, each entrant must complete a uniquely numbered entry card for each model they wish to enter. The details required are:
-
Entrant’s name
-
Description of the model, for example:
-
Seagull AT-6 Texan
-
Dynam T28 Trojan
-
West Wings BAe Hawk
