CCAP Results for 2025 – Event 1

Our first planned Common Club Airplane event (Vegas Loops) was held on April 27th after a delay from the scheduled date of the 19th.  The weather forecast was questionable but turned out to be pretty good with just a bit of wind to deal with.  Ten pilots joined the competition with 2 or 3 other members present to help out and observe the competition.  This was the first event from the “luck” category…  our next event is scheduled for May 17th and will be drawn from our list of “skill” events.
 
Here are the results from this event:
 
 
Keep in mind that the points accumulate through the season with 7 scheduled events and the best of the 5 added to your point total for the year.  That means there is plenty of time for more pilots to join in and compete for the 2025 season championship!
 
Even if you don’t expect to win the season, the CCA events are a great way to develop your skills as a pilot and all of the competitors are more than willing to help out and share their expertise.  So come on out and give it a try!
 
Also keep in mind we can always use help running the event and it typically only lasts for a couple hours so there is plenty of time to fly before and/or after.

CCA#5 Results

Our 5th Common Club Airplane (CCA) event occured on August 24th and the scoresheet has been updated and re-posted here:  CCA Results

A cumulative score sheet is being maintained on our web site if you want to see the current season leaders. Remember the best 5 scores of the seven events will be used to determine a season champ so there is still time to get involved!  There is a link to it on the event page as well.

The event had 14 pilots competing in a climb and glide contest in our usual double elimination style.  Dave Hart had his first victory of the season going undefeated on the day and while many matches were close, Dave’s last flight was very impressive… Easily the longest flight of the day by a big margin!!

Our next CCA event is scheduled in just a couple weeks on September 7th.

CCA#4 Results

Our 4th 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 had 12 pilots competing in a timed flight contest in our usual double elimination style.   For the second event in a row, the final bracket required 2 flights to determine a victor!

The ability of the pilots to fly for a set amount of time and land on the runway as close to the elapsed time as possible was tested but the pilots proved they had this one in the bag as there were half a dozen or more heats where the winning pilot landed within one second of the time alloted!  Some heats were decided with less than 2 seconds seperating the pilots with one on each side of the landing target time.  Very impressive.

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.

CCA #3 Results

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.
