RE: Fun Fly Events
Hi Bob,
We just held our fall fun fly. I decided just to list several events then before the fun fly the fliers voted on what events that they wanted in the fun fly. Here's a list. They voted for #1, 5, 6 and 10. Jon
Vote for which events you want, 1 vote per person.
#1. All up, last down. Everyone takes off gains altitude for 45 seconds. When the time is up, everyone turns off their engines... the longest to stay in the air wins.
#2. Most loops. See how many loops you can do in 1 minute?
#3. Timed flight. The person that comes closest to 1 minute without going over, from takeoff to landing.
#4. Loop, roll and stall turn. The fastest person to do all 3 in any order, takeoff to landing.
#5. Spot landing. Land closest to the center of the circle on the runway measured from the spot that you first touched.
#6. Bomb Drop. Take a syrofoam cup, a stick and a rubber band. Strap the cup to your plane. Take a golf ball (we have a couple of local golfers that 'donate' plenty of balls to our cause) and put it into the cup. The closest to the center of the circle wins.
#7. Sky Bowling. Tie a ‘bowling ball’ to your plane and go bowling. Take Several empty fuel jugs and set them up to the side of the runway. Take 20' or so of kite string and tie a 'bowling ball' (we used a plastic 5"? bowling ball from a kids play set) and see how many pins you can knock down in 2 passes.
#8. Touch and go’s. How many touch and go’s can you do in 1 minute?
#9. Aileron rolls. How many aileron rolls can you do in 30 seconds?
#10. Dead stick landing. Fly for 30 seconds, cut throttle and see who comes closest to the center of the circle.
