I'm participating in the DLG and pylon Club-400E. Are the program schedules ready? Do I need to be there both days?

Thanks Pang, ...just learned that I can 'print scrn' and grab the pict of the doc.

A big thank you to all who took part as well as come to support the opening SNAC2011 Indoor Pylon Racing event earlier this morning.
I must say the 2 years head-start the juniors had over the adults put them in very good state.
It seems to be a popular event and I had many requests for it to be held on a regular basis (bi-monthly or quarterly) ...comments ?

I'm also contemplating starting another class of indoor pylon racing with models of below 20"(?)WS and scale - meaning must look like a replica of the real thing. This would be good for Modellers with no time to build as they could just compete with the ParkZones or other range of PNF models. - show of hands, how many would be interested ? (Thanks to David Walter for the inspiration)

...also in the pipeline, F3P style contest ! ...anyone ?

Hi,

I was there at SYFC at 1300hrs but the security guard refuse to let me enter. He told me competition already over, everything was concluded in the morning.

The schedule posted indicated there was event 1300hrs today. Can you guys confirm??? Was the security guard bluffing me??? Wasted my trip.

Hi, just wondering how accessible is the RMS for public who only take public transport?

Indoor scale race will be nice, but I don't think we need to put a limitation to the wingspan, as long as the model is deemed suitable to fly in such confined space.

No worries, I just want to confirm that the security guard not bullsh!tting me. Missed the indoor event.

Will go over to RMS next weekend then. Hope the timing is accurate. RMS is far far away........petrol also went up 3 cents last week.

Hi Adiran,

Base on my many years experience in indoor competition organized by SYFC. I would suggest you don't reply on the official timing too much. Its what they call "real-time" coordination. Contest director can decide there and then to change the program schedule or even the rules/category (not often). This is normal in order to get things moving and adapt to unexpected events.

I remember last year there was only one entry for the open (me) Cat. I was asked to compete in the student category. I felt a bit "bully kichits". Anyway I went along just to support the event. I later forfeit my champion position so that the fourth place student can be recognized (extra ECA points). This year we spend more time/$ on boats and decide to give the indoor flying a break.

Nevertheless, one things that had never changed .... start time. So if you want to watch you should try to be there at the start. Cheers...

Yes, the event went rather smoothly and the 2 round of heats + finals was completed by 12 pm. We had booked the Hangar up to 2 pm as a contingency in case of glitches.
Our apologies if you came down late and did not manage to catch the event.
