We flew 2-Meter & Unlimited classes Man on Man separately each day. Trophies to 5 places and Sportsman (combined) to 3 places & a High Overall 2 day trophy each class.  1st places also received a special monogrammed patch produced by Barb Robinson.
 
Saturday started with sunny skies and a promise of low winds from the north east and a temp of 60 moving to the mid 70's during the day.  We flew 5 round of each class with the first being 6 minutes and the rest being 8 minute tasks, with a 100 inch/point landing tape.  Flight groups were seeded Man on Man  up to 5 pilots with landings added after normalizing. The first 4 rounds were some of the best soaring weather I have ever seen making it a landing contest.  However the wind was picking up and the last round of 2 Meter was difficult with the high time of 4:28 flown by Peter beating the rest of us by at least 30 seconds.
 
Sunday started sunny but breezy with prediction of the wind from the south east around 6 mph increasing to around 12.  Soaring was spotty but doable with roaters in the landing area.  We flew 5 round of each class with the same format as Saturday.  The wind picked up in the 2nd round and was at least 25 mph at 400 feet, more lead needed.  The wind and landing roaters continued to increase in the 3 and 4th rounds.  We ended the contest around 3pm, to have the annual LSF awards dinner at a local restraurnt.

This Contest is open to all members of LIFT at no cost. 

It is a Team event with our club being one Team, challenging a number of other International Clubs

The International Postal Contest is an "invitational" event which is flown by a number of clubs throught-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.  Landings 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 recored 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.

If the weather turns bad for Saturday, I'll send an email Friday Afternoon.

Hope to see you there.
