2012 Scheduled Events (check back for details)
January
22nd: This will be a fun-fly on the lines of
similar prior events.
We'll include spot landing,
triple loop, maximum duration from a given
motor
run, slalom taxi, aerial bowling, and
guess-the-time-of-flight.
March 18th: Warbirds over Watsonville. This will
be
devoted to a fun day for warbirds only. We could
encourage warbird maneuvers
like high-speed lowlevel
flights along the runway, with
adequate
protection for the spectators. Prizes could be
awarded for best
combination of sort-of-scale looks
with best simulation of the real
aircraft's flying
capabilities. We may include pylon racing.
May 20th: Seaplanes and floatplanes only.
Judging
again would be on the same lines as for the warbirds
event.
July 22nd: Electric ducted fan models only.
September
23rd. Scale model competition. Judging
based on both static and flying
capabilities. Perhaps
we could encourage designing and building by
having
similar classes to those at the Nationals; i.e.
Sports Scale would be for
ARFs, Expert Scale
would be for kit-built or plan-built airplanes,
and
Designer Scale would be for completely scratchbuilt
airplanes from the
builder's own plans.
November 18th: Pylon racing with different
classes
depending on member interest.
