I flew in my 1st contest today.
4 events.
1st was, At the pilots station you choose a card telling you 3 stunts.
Simple things, My 1st flight was roll, roll, split S. ( my 2nd flight was 3 - split S's that was fun, I did a split S' then an Immillmen then a roll then start over with a split S....doing this 3 times....)
then you tell them how long it will take and they time you. Your score is the difference between your estimated time and actual time.
2nd event was dead stick to a target in the runway. closest to the target wins.
they awarded points to come up with a final score.

I won one of the dead stick events and ended up tied for 2nd place so we had a fly off.
I chose the dead stick but I choked, coming down on the far side of the runway clipping the tall grass pretty good so I pulled it up out of the grass. As I was thinking if I could still turn towards the target, one of the experienced guys yelled out " SAVE THE PLANE " that snapped me out of stupid and I just kept the wings level and bought it down safe in the tall grass. All Joun had to do was keep it in the runway which he did giving me 3rd.

The guys were great and I had a good time..

What other events can be done at something like this?
Last year I wasnt up to flying so I watched the event and they did the same things..
We have another fun fly coming up in August
