Electric Fun Fly and Tiger Racing
15th March 2015
It never fills me with confidence when I wake up on a Sunday and it is drizzling! Add some wind to that and I’m ready to go back to bed but a call to Clive found the comp was on, so off to Belrose. Dave Pound, our erstwhile CD was there sorting out the score sheets and trophies and gradually the entrants turned up with a few onlookers. It was not a good flying day – it was windy and not even a steady wind but erratic in both strength and direction.
The first event was Balloon Bursting DP Style. Half a dozen pink balloons were fixed to the ground and you had to burst them – no landing and then taxying into them!
Mike Minty was first up and having been blown around for the allotted 3 minute time opportunity was blown into the ground on landing! He won’t be flying that for a while.
