billscottni:
Please note we have brought the start time forward to 10am to try and avoid bad weather scheduled for later in the day.
Apologies for any inconvenience

billscottni:
Earlier start time allowed us to get in 4 rounds plus a 2 round 2 man fly off before the rain started - JUST!!

After 4 rounds, Andrew Wallace and Tommy Magee made the fly off. Tommy finishing top after the 4 rounds.

In the first flight of the fly off Andrew got away and stuffed Tommy by almost doubling his time. In flight 2 all he had to do was cover Tommy to win. This he did and then some.

Both models were Eliminator 134's, but with slightly different wing sections. Early in the day Tommys' model had worked better, but in the almost windless fly off Andrews undercambered wing took top honours.

Congratulations Andrew
