Cobra R/C Club Old Timer Contest - Saturday September 1, 2007

 

Report: Old Timer Contest



     September, 1st 2007

     We couldn’t have had better weather for our fifth Old Timer Contest put on by the Cobra R/C Club. The wind was from the southeast, a little strong at times, but nothing the flyers couldn't handle. We had nine flyers and three spectators, everyone was able to finish all three rounds, and no one went out of the field boundaries this time. I believe there were two small repairs jobs done at the field do to hard landings, nothing serious enough not to finish the contest.

     We had a new contestant, Frank Vanecek, Frank was flying a beautifully built Quaker, lets hope Frank will complete in next months contest, October 6th.


     Six of us went to the Fish and Game club for lunch, the lake was just perfect, several sail boats, ( Catamarans ) were out sailing - what a great day.

     The Scores are as follows: A perfect score 350 for one round, or 1050 total.

     Terry Lamm - 1014

     Ed Splittgerber - 952

     Dick Behrens - 950

     Loren Blinde - 926

     Tom Egbert - 918

     Larry Bailey - 911

     Frank Vanecek - 899

     Ed Jelinek - 889

     Larry Puls - 877

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.
