Sorry I don’t get to participate in these events anymore. They were way fun. Especially the breakfast in Columbus!👍

 The first BFM soaring contest of the year will be held this coming Saturday, April 10, at Scott’s field near Columbus.  Pilot’s meeting at 9:30 with first round immediately following.

We will fly the ALES5J format, same as last year.  Altitude recording limiters are not required, but do make it more fun IMO.  Launch and landing will be perpendicular to the flight line, and into the wind.  All pilots must launch and land in the same direction per round.  In the event of a wind switch, the flying pilots may elect to land from the opposite direction from launch.  No landings across the lanes.  Zero landing points for non-compliance.

To celebrate the new season, all pilots that compete in at least one round will receive a surprise participation prize!  Scott Edwards has a new Ultima 2, and Dick has a newly modified wing on an Art Hobby ship.  They promise to “bring it” at the contest!  Should be a good time.

HFT folks:  Please advise if you will be attending so we know who to expect!  Thanks.  I will send out a follow up email on Friday if the contest is postponed or cancelled.

Hope to see everyone at the field.
