Fly at Woodsom Farm this Sunday

Heads Up Skysters!  We’ll be flying on the big field at Woodsom Farm in Amesbury this Sunday, October 20.  Last Saturday’s meet at Woodsom Farm was cancelled due to poor flying weather. 

The contest event roster remains unchanged – check out the full Oct. 20 Meet Flyer.  You’ll find directions to the field and key contacts on the Flyer as well.  

Fall flying at Woodsom Farm is the best.  See you at the field!

September Woodsom Farm Meet Results

The Sept. 7 meet saw a light flyer turnout, but nice weather. Several folks showed up to watch and fly gliders that were handed out. Chris helped Alec get his Sleek Streak flying and by the afternoon he was getting 30+ second flights every time.  Way to go guys!
The contest events were hotly contested.  In Dime Scale (pg2 below), a scant 2 seconds separated 1st place from second and second from third.  An exciting event..

Novak Tribute & Scrappy One Design Models

Well, folks sure have been busy at the building board!  Our Canadian clubsters from the Harfang Squadron have built and flown a whole gaggle of Novak Tribute Models.  Rumors of several streamer-flying mass launches have been reported, accompanied by a mysterious photo (sidebar pic).  Surely the pic was staged…could it be real??   That’s the Spirit skysters… NRE is smiling!

Check out the NRE Tribute Event page for pics of new Tribute Models built by clubsters.  Send yours along and we’ll put it up for all to see.  It’s all for FUN!

Reports are trickling in of lots of Scrappy One Design activity down in the Glastonbury. CT high school gym.  The first flying session of the 2024-25 indoor season was this past weekend and Scrappies (?) were said to be bouncing off the ceiling and putting up nice flights.  The excitement is building!

See you on the field at Woodsom Farm this Sunday skysters –
