OK... I've been asked to host the Woody Roundup again. I can truly not come up with a reason not to... so, it's on! We have had it over Labor Day Weekend in the past, but I have a conflict this year. That being said, what's your pleasure... the weekend before, or the weekend after? Let's take a vote at the field on Saturday. If you can't be there... send me a private email and I'll count your vote. I need to get the sanction going so if I don't hear from you by Saturday, sin loi... (Vietnamese for, "Sorry about that.") We will fly 2 days. The task will be 1 round of 10 minute duration; 1 round of 11 minute duration; 1 round of 12 minute duration; 1 round of 13 minute duration. All will have a landing option that will be a tie breaker ONLY. In other words, if more than one pilot has a perfect flight, only the one with the closest landing will receive landing points, up to 10. Only 1 pilot per round will be awarded landing points, and only if you have a perfect flight score. Ties other that perfect will stand as ties. If niether pilot scores a landing, the tie for the round will remain. In the VERY unlikely event of an overall tie, there will be a 7-minute flyoff with landing. Skegs/sharks teeth, etc. will be allowed. Wheels will not be allowed. Winch length will be wheeled and all winches will be 600'. If times are being made consistently, lines may be shortened for subsequent rounds. If you wish to bring a hi-start, the max stretched length of the hi-start will be the same as the winch length.
Definition of a "Woody": A model sailplane of wood construction, with open rib bays after the spar, with any material for spars and fuselage. No molded, foam, or composite parts may be used for the wing or empennage, except the spar and/or carbon capped ribs. For our purpose, the molded fin on a fiberglass fuselage is considered part of the fuselage. Any control configuration is allowed. This is NOT an RES contest. AVA lovers and Topaz whizkids, etc... don't fret we'll have a separate class for you, too... so bring 'em! We'll probably call it the LOW class, but, you never know, we may came up with a better name... You didn't think I'd leave you out, now did you? Yes, Bill Estill's bagged stuff falls in there, too. The CD - ME - will have final say as to aircraft class. I am committed to the contest, and I have set the task. I probably won't change it. The scoring will be a penny a point... oops... a point per second... yeah, that's it! We'll have it whether we sanction it or not. Entry fee is $5- per day. The club will keep half for it's trouble, and the other half will be split among the top 3 flyers on a sliding scale, of course. Y'all come back, now,... hear?
