Cobra R/C Club Old Timer Contest - Saturday August 4, 2007

 

 Old Timer Contest August 4th 2007

 


     The Cobra R/C Club put on our forth Old Timer Five Minute Contest Saturday, August 4th. Weather … hot in the 90’s and humidity was really high. Wind was about 18 to 20 MPH out of the South East.

     We had nine pilots enter the contest. Only four was able to finish all three rounds. I believe the wind had a great deal to do with that. Some had a little bad luck, one went in the corn field, one broke the landing gear and one broke a wing. Nothing was damaged to bad , I’m sure they will all be flying at our September contest.- September 1st.

     Several of us went to the Fish And Game Club for lunch, one of my favorite things to do. It was just to unpleasant to cook at the field.


     Loren Blinde came up from Lincoln, always nice to see Loren. Galen gave it a good try this time as did Howard Hough It was just to windy for Howard’s plane, I think Howard was ready to give it a good try, but I thought it was just blowing to hard. Larry Puls had a very busy summer but was able to fly this time. Larry Bailey had his hands full with his plane

( Dallaire ) with the size of the wing in the wind he did a great job. I want to thank everyone that took part in my contest.

     Here are the scores for the day. A perfect score: 350 points per round, or 1050 for three rounds.

1st Tom Egbert 956 Completed Three Rounds

2nd Terry lamm 929 Three Rounds

3rd Dick Behrens 914 Three Rounds

The Cobras R/C Club is made up of a friendly and helpful group of people. We have a large grass field that is well maintained and is large enough to take off and land either North/South or East/West. Not only that but there is nothing to run into when you are flying. It’s all level open ground. We have a map to the field so that you will be able to find your way. The Cobras Field is on the west side of I-29 South of the Bellevue exit. All but the last couple of miles or so are hard surface roads. We also have posted on the Field the emergency number to give to the 911 operator so that the emergency unit can quickly find the Field. That number is 54802. It could be very important if someone had a heart attack or other serious problem. The SWIFT Glider club members are also members of the Cobras club and there membership has added to the size of the club which has helped to bring in enough money to pay the cost for rent and upkeep of the field. President Larry Puls cooks great Brats and other goodies for many of the Fun Flys etc. so be sure to come out to the Field and enjoy the food, flying and camaraderie. If you would like to show everyone your newest creation, that took so much work to build, then bring it to the Cobras Meeting for show and tell. The meetings are the first Wednesday of the month. In January we combine the meeting with dinner at the Holliday Party.  If you wish to join the Cobras download an application form.
