  Navy Carrier  
  CLAMF transported the Deck over to the Knox field for the CLAG flying day. Almost perfect weather conditions for the five competitors that fronted to fly.

New model this time was Mat Shears with a large OD Wildcat powered by a fairly tired OS 40FSR. With a more reliable donk this big sucker should fly really well ... certainly won't miss the side profile in the air !!.. The rest of the models were the usual HP40 powered Bearcats and Corsair as well as the Merco 29 powered Wildcat. A look at the scores indicates how important getting good landing points is - no one got a perfect 100pt landing this time. A few missed approaches or a wheel off the deck can really drop your score down.

Anyone interested in building a Carrier Model or wanting some information about Navy Carrier should check out the CLAMF Website at: http://clamf.aerosports.net.au or come along to any Carrier Comp. We always have a spare model for anyone wanting to have a go.
