Despite a very cold and breezy day a most enjoyable and entertaining time was had by all the stoic participants. Models ranging from a 400 mm wingspan foam Spitfire to the Club’s Riot trainer made a power-on flight of 10-20 seconds, depending on size, and then attempted a power-off landing as close as possible to a small white target. The closest three landed within about three metres with the furthest, a foam model, being blown way down the Meadow. First prize went to new club member Ade Pugh flying his 11 year old son Edward’s small Volantex foam Spitfire. Edward collected his father’s prize on his behalf and was given a BMFA Dart kit for his first free flight building project..
