2018 WESSEX AEROMODELLERS LEAGUE

Low-Cost 600RES Competition  Scores after the 1st round at Cashmoor on Sunday 27 May 2018

The first round of the 2018 season was flown at Cashmoor in superb sunny, almost perfect, conditions, the earlier date at Flamstone Farm having been cancelled because of the weather. After an experimental year in 2017 it was decided to use the CAM height limiter, set to 30 seconds motor run time and 150m altitude.

 There was a good entry of eight competitors all of whom had arrived with great enthusiasm for the new season. The event consisted of four rounds, resulting in a total of twelve slots. Not counting any fly-offs at the end of the day for pilots with equal scores, each pilot flies four times in this Round Robin competition. The slots are so designed that each pilot will fly once against every other pilot in the competition.

The Wimborne MAC on behalf of the Southern Area BMFA held a ‘flying only’ Scale Competition on Sunday 24th September 2017. With attendance at scale competitions across the country declining, it was felt that a low key competition in the Southern Area would be a good way to give the average club flyer an opportunity to experience some competitive flying, which would be fun and offer them an opportunity to focus their flying in a scale manner. Who knows, it may even encourage them to have a go at other competitions, or the Nationals.

Scores after the 5th & final round.  We missed the heavy rain of the previous week and were fortunate that Sunday turned out dry, but only just. The fifth and final round of the 2017 season was flown at Cashmoor.  We again used the CAM height limiter, set to 30 seconds motor run time and this time set at 150m altitude. There was a good entry of 10 pilots with the event consisting of five rounds run to the now familiar round robin format. The slots in each round are so designed that each pilot will fly once against every other pilot in the competition.
