- 31 October 2007 - We managed to run the ARF Scale Competition
on Sunday 28 October 2007 under extremely challenging weather conditions. Strong
winds were felt right across the state which no doubt contributed to the lower than
expected number of entries. However we decided to press on with the competition,
some competitors deciding at the last minute not to fly.
The final results after flying 3 rounds were:
|
1st
|
Neil Addicot
|
Grumman Panther
|
|
2nd
|
Roger Carrigg
|
Shoestring
|
|
3rd
|
Noel Whitehead
|
Extra

It's pleasing to report that there were no mishaps.
A full report will be in the November newsletter and a results page is soon to be
created for the ARF Scale competitions.
