April IPC Contest
We will try to hold the April postal contest (fun fly) on Saturday April 18 (weather permiting). Check out the IPC page for more information on the International Postal Contest (IPC). The International Postal Contest is an "invitational" event which is flown by a number of clubs through-out the world twice a year, on dates as close to the first of April and September as the weather permits.
The Postal Contest is an open flying type event. No pressure, no trophies, just five 6 minute flights when you call them any time between 10 am and 3 pm, and fun flying and good conversation in between.
Once you call an official flight you have a 9 minute window (after release of the plane form the line at launch) to attempt to get the most towards a 6 minute flight, that is, you can relaunch within the first 3 minutes. Landing are scored on the FAI Landing tape which allows for 100 points within 1 meter of the landing spot and 5 points less for each meter out from the spot.
All Contestants are recorded on our report and a good showing of members helps to show were an active club. The 5 highest scoring members are used to rank our club against the other participating clubs of the world.
If you have other things to accomplish that day you can come early or late and get your flights in and leave.
