New Temperature Bonus
Eagle eye Angus spotted some inequities in last years crush by that dastardly flyer Trailing Edge. The boss noted TE’s boasting about the top 3 flights submitted, his merciless Brady Bashing and the fact that TE’s flights were made in positively balmy conditions.
So, he came up with a new Temperature Bonus Table below (we’re pretty sure the rumors that somebody slipped Angus a Fin are untrue)
Angus says that the idea is to keep it close and interesting. He says it’s all for fun anyway (hmmm…)
So have at it Skysters!
Send any pics and videos and we’ll share on this site. Use the Contact Form if any questions or comments (to Angus of course, not me)
Fly on the field where the modern Flying Aces Club was born!
An $8 entry fee (free for Under 21!) and you’ll fly with folks that go back to the beginning of the club that re-energized traditional Free Flight rubber modeling.
You can’t beat that.
Check the events on the Flyer. Here’s your chance to fly GHQ Peanut using the original event that legendary Hank Struck first won in 1967. Don’t miss this opportunity.
Hey gang!, September is here and Fall is in the air. This is a beautiful time to fly FF and the forecast is looking up for next weekend. So get those models ready now and plan to join us at Woodsom Farm on Saturday Sept 11.
The field has been recently hayed making it much easier to chase high flying model airplanes.
Check the events roster above. Something to fly for everyone. Don’t forget to bring your Goodyear Racer if you’ve got one.
New folks are always welcome. Bring a Free Flight rubber (or electric) model airplane, or just come along to check out the action. As always, experienced flyers will be on hand to help you with any flight trimming or modeling questions.
Hey gang!, don’t forget the free flight rubber powered model meet tomorrow (Saturday July 24, 2021) at the Pony Express Field in Ipswich, MA! This is a new flying field on Boston’s North Shore.
The Pony Express Field in Ipswich MA is a well maintained grass field much easier to chase on than Woodsom Farm which will be tall hay in the summer months.
Pony Express is a smaller site than Woodsom Farm and flyers may need to take steps (smaller rubber motors and/or fewer winder turns) to keep models on the field.
Smaller site meets are often big fun!
A few seasons back, we had a summertime meet on the Collins Foundation airstrip in Stow, MA and that was a really fun event. Same with the rubber FF meets at the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome.
So come on out and fly your models on the new Pony Express Field in beautiful Ipswich, MA. As always, experienced flyers will be on hand to help you with any flight trimming or modeling questions.
