The first Fun Fly competition took place last weekend, and was very well attended by a good number of entrants and enthusiastic supporters!
The next event is the first powered glider competition, which is also popular, as most club members have a suitable aircraft. This is planned for Sunday, 3rd May, so hope to see you there. Peter’s rules are as below.
