Everyone, save the date of 01 Dec 2024 in your diary for the club’s Christmas BBQ. In addition to a BBQ there is a Christmas shirt comp for the wildest Christmas shirt being run by club President Gary and for those a little more technically minded there will be a payload (“bomb”) drop comp with the winner being the person whose payload lands nearest the target.
Any aircraft, heli or glider can enter the payload drop. You have to design and install your own payload and mechanism. A payload can be any shape but a tubular design with fins at the rear works well. Helis can enter too although they must not hover when dropping their payload.
No prizes but honour and glory for successful entrants (and maybe a red face if your Christmas shirt is wild enough).
Yes, I’m heading out to Lowes to see if I can get a Xmas shirt as good or better than last years. I urge all members to wear the brightest colored shirts they have got so that we are all in party mood for our Xmas BBQ and impress our grand kids (if you have any). Though I have found that impressing grand kids is very hard.
