All Aussie Day 2019

Well the week leading up had some of the most sublime winter weather. However it didn't last and we had another bleak day for the contest. Thanks to all the folks who turned up to participate, some being rewarded with kits from Francis Grassham and R/C Gear and engines from Col Collyer.

There were two events scheduled on the day

The All Aussie, designers and constructors competition comprising of static and flying elements
Brimbank Memorial Vintage Combat

All Aussie Line Up

There were 13 Models presented for the static judging including Speed, Team Racing, Vintage/Classic/F2B Stunt models not forgetting the novelty Klingon entrant. All attendees were given a voting slip and asked to submit their ranking of the three best models in their opinion. The outcome is presented below.

From the table you can see it was a lay down misere for Dave Nobes with his semi scale Tempest. Not only that but he received a 4th place for his Livewire III F2B own design. Ken Maier made second with his Glow Chief 29 powered HH Demon. Bringing up third place was Harry with his Galaxie B Team racer.

It was also evident that none of the models flew due to strong winds. This was disappointing but not uncommon for events held at this time of year. To encourage lesser experienced pilots two patterns were offered and an algorithm created to normalise scores to give every one a chance of winning. Maybe next year we'll get into the air on the day.

Brimbank Memorial Vintage Combat

I was a very damp flying field as well as a cool & blustery winter’s day in Melbourne which greeted five cheerful combat fliers for the 12^th running of the annual Brimbank Faclons Vintage control line combat event which had been rescheduled the month before due to bad weather.
