Despite the weather forecast for high winds, we had a good day, the wind not causing any problems; this is a big advantage at Frankston as the scrub creates a wind barrier. Many times I go not expecting to fly and yet have no problems there thanks to the bush.
 
Lance won with his Vintage Proto closely followed by my piped.21 sized Class 2, model still on 10 % nitro, next time out I will use more nitro.

I was also running a new .21 Nova Rossi .21 in Class 5 but still on low nitro. I’m carefully running it in; the old engine is still going well after 8 + years. It was carefully run in.

Noel was running his monoline OS 30 in class 2, but it hit the ground on its second flight. Fortunately, only a prop was broken and he was able to fly a 3rd round.

As only 2 contestants put up flights in Perky we cannot have a proper result of closest to average speed, but we put in times anyway, Perky is only for FUN, it is not Formula 1.

I flew Ron Savages new Perky with an old OS Max 11 -15. It went well for an old cross flow of the 50’s. Due to the light motor it was a bit touchy even with a close spaced handle; Perky's seem to like to be nose heavy.

Speaking of Perky’s where are they all? Hope it not another class started only to later fizzle out.

Next speed comp AUGUST 8th, all welcome.
