Our first Navy Carrier Comp
on our new deck went off reasonably well. Entries were a bit light on
due to a few unfinished models and a bit of equipment failure on the
day, nevertheless everyone except Peter managed to put in two official
flights with varying degrees of success. All the models flown were actually built back in the 70's when we last flew Navy Carrier. Graeme, Murray and Mark were all flying HP 40 powered Bearcats made from the old GS kits, Paul's model was a GS Corsair also HP 40 powered, Peter's Wildcat is an O/D powered by a Merco 29 which didn't get a chance to put in a flight due to a stripped plug thread. Landing on the deck seemed to be a problem for everyone... much harder than it looks !! Only Murray and Paul managed 100 pt landings, the HP powered models all had similar performance... 70-72 mph high speed, 25-28 mph low speed... a bit of practice will see the low speeds come down. Next comp is in May. |
