The FAI contest began at 1 pm on Friday, May 23 with the mini-events to give contestants a chance to travel and perhaps do some last minute trimming. The day had an overcast sky with light rain for most of the contest, but the winds were light and variable with most drift towards the west, but some rounds had essentially zero wind. One F1G flight DTd at over 6 minutes and landed less than one hundred yards from the launch pole. Jean Pailet had a massive overrun in the second round, and the model was just off the field in a tree about 30 ft up.
For the major FAI events on Saturday, May 24 the weather was sunny with a persistent NE breeze of 5 to 12 mph. Because some of the models were approaching the edge of the International Aeromodeling Center field where trees are located on 3-minute flights, the max was reduced to 120 for the last five rounds. Even with the 2-minute max, strong thermals would take the models close to the western edge of the field on some flights. Others in strong thermals landed after a total of more than three minutes in the air less than 300 yards from the flight line. The F1B fly-off between Paul Crowley and John Shailor was held at about 8 pm with no retrieval problems. The F1C fly-off is scheduled for the weekend of the Intercities contest in June at Muncie.
The AMA-, Oldtimer-, and Nostalgia Events were held over three days, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Weatherwise, the three days were the best of the Memorial Day weekend as Thursday had strong westerly winds that discouraged the testing of new models and a cold front came in on Monday with strong northerly winds. The weather on Sunday started out with an easterly wind but changed to SSW by mid-day that caused us to move to Center Road to avoid going off the field. The prediction was for southeasterly breeze. Center road was chosen because of considerable flooding of the south end of the field due to recent rains.
Three of the open-age contestants in the HLG event flew discus-launch gliders. Interestingly, the HLG scores were better overall than the Catapult Glider scores. A new force may be emerging in the Catapult event in the name of Fran Masterman, Paul’s wife who came up just short of winning when her thermal disintegrated on the 6th flight to leave her just 8 seconds short of a win.
The total contestant entry for the two contests was 47, down a bit from last year. The timing over a holiday weekend as well as the recent surge gasoline prices may have affected the turnout.
Keith Fulmer won the Celia Goldberg trophy for high time in ˝-A gas for the umpteenth year in a row. The trophy has been continuously awarded since 1950 with no gaps in the names of engraved winners. Keith also won the High-Point Gas Cup. High-Point in Rubber went to Paul Crowley; Glider High-Point to Bill Schlarb. The Junior High-Point was awarded to Zachary Seymour and the Senior High Point to Evan Simon.
