Our third Common Club Airplane (CCA) event occured yesterday and the scoresheet has been updated and re-posted here:  CCA Results

There is a link to it on the event page as well.

The event featured 13 pilots competing in a bomb drop contest.  It was a double elimination style contest and competition was tough all the way to the end.  The final bracket required 2 flights to determine a victor!

There was a slight error that caused a couple of folks to get eliminated prematurely.  Tony did his best to properly award places and points.  This just reminds us that we should have given Tony a bit more assistance in running these events!  If you enjoy this type of thing, please come out and offer to assist in the future. 

There was also a couple of minor errors in the previous event scoring (just some typos) so those scores have been adjusted as well.

Come out and check out the fun at our next event!  Thanks to the organizers and volunteers who helped make it happen.  Even with all of that, we finished up in just over 2 hours.

Our first Common Club Airplane (CCA) event is in the books and the results are posted here:  CCA Results

I will update this as soon after each session as possible so you can keep an eye on the “leader board”.   There is a link to it on the event page as well.

The first event featured 12 pilots competing in a contest to see who could do the most “roops” in 90 seconds including landing on the runway.  It was a double elimination style contest, so 1 loss did NOT eliminate anyone… guaranteeing a bit more flying for every pilot.  There was a bonus for successfully landing on the runway, and a penalty for any parts landing separately or flipping over the airplane on landing.  In spite of all of that, there were several tied rounds and the competition was tough all the way to end with the final face off requiring 3 straight flights between the 1st and 2nd place competitors to determine a winner!!

Come out and check out the fun at our next event!  Thanks to the organizers and volunteers who helped make it so happen.  Even with all of that, we finished up in around 2 hours.

Just a quick note to pass on this link to the plans for a plane that has been suggested by Tony Stillman as a platform for us to all have a little full contact combat fun.   Here is a link to the plans and Tony has some foam board if you don’t have anything suitable.
