Sloping Off - March 2004

Pizza Competition December 2003
Photo Report by Trevor Hewson and Mike Roach

As you can see from the collection below, this new competition formula really got the creative juices flowing...

Launch technique proved to be every bit as important as model design..

 

Andy Tubb battled it out with Chairman Clive for top honours in the different flying classes.

Andy went for duration and distance with a very stylish semi-scale glider, whereas Clive's model owed more to the balsa chuckies of his youth and proved to be the best of the aerobats.

 

Prize for the most creative design went to Jim Ruffell's Enterprise. For most of the evening this unlikely looking model resisted all attempts to make it fly, but persistence paid off and he got there in the end. All in all this was a most entertaining and enjoyable evening, which I am sure we will be doing again.
