First Fun-Fly of 2015!!
Can you believe it ??? Our first fun-fly happened Saturday. It took Cloyce to get everyone motivated and get started competing in a "Climb 'n Glide". And almost everyone there competed. Climb for 30 seconds and then glide for as long as possible (more on the "possible") and total flight time was recorded. So here are the results:
Pilot Plane Time Min:Sec
Cloyce Senorita 6:26
Dennis Pilot 4:14
Cloyce Twist 2:09
Ron E-Stick 2:05
Bobby Twist 2:04
Marlowe Drastik 1:55
Larry Arrow 1:40
Gary Arrow 1:39
An interesting observation is how little time it takes from engine quit until meeting the ground unless you have a light, high wing plane.
In order to extend the "dead stick" landing, many of the pilots chose to stretch it too much resulting in some crashes. One Twist was destroyed and a Stick pancaked hard just to squeeze out a few extra seconds. But a good time was had by all.
