Where are our Viagra Cup Champions???

Southern Region Electric Glider Competition 2022

Round 1 of our 2022 Southern Region Electric Glider Competition will be held at the Cooma Club field on Sunday 27 February 2022. The event is based on a simple rules format that encourages flyers of varying ability to participate and enjoy the days gliding activity.
The event will again consist of two classes, up to 2.6 meters class and above 2.6 meters to a maximum of 4.0 meters.

We have made some minor rule changes to enhance the event. These are, allowing models in the under 2.6 meter class to fly without a height limiter, to have 30 second motor run, (at CD discretion), above 2.6 meter models must use a height limiter device. The height limiter device to be set for 200 meters or 30 second cutoff.

Please read the rules as below so you are familiar with, this will enhance your enjoyment of the day.

Height limiter devices such as the Soaring Circuits CAM or the Altis V.4 are suitable, there are others available as well.

Lunches.

For these events we need to self-cater for lunches, ie bring your own lunch and drinks. This makes it much easier for the host clubs when we do not know the numbers to cater for. Fruit cake will be served at lunch.

We envisage a 9.45am pilots briefing, 10.00am start time with a lunch break around 12.30pm.Weather permitting we should complete the event by around 3.00pm.

For each event we will award a trophy for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each class. We will aggregate the scores recorded for the best 3 rounds and award a perpetual Leader Board trophy for the overall year winner. An entry fee will be charged to cover costs.

Event Cancellation & COVID 19 Requirements.

In running this event we must adhere to any Government Health advice regarding COVID 19, ensure 1.5 meter social distancing and personal hand sanitizing. We will have hand sanitizer on site on the day. All flyers and assistants will be required to register name and mobile phone contact number on the day.

For this event we require all flyers and assistants to be double vaccinated, and to be able to show proof of this status.

To deal with the advent of bad weather impacting this event on 27 February 2022, we will make a decision to cancel the event and advise this on Friday night, 25 February 2022 by around 6.00pm.

This advice will be communicated by email, SMS and also put on the Lake George Facebook page.

By doing this we will save flyers and unnecessary trip to Cooma and give them time to rearrange their weekend activities.
Note: We will only issue this advice if the event is cancelled.

  • Launching method, electric motor, height limited to 200 meters or 30 seconds.

Models for sale

Hi Guys,

Im cleaning a couple of items from the shed and have 2 surplus airframes..

1 x Curare 40.. Hano Pretners anthedral tailed pattern ship. Airframe is solid and will require recover and fitting of your gear. Used to run a 46 with pipe on 10×10 apc. very slick..

1 x executive twin.. twin os26fs powered, operating strobes and still contains all the gear (might want to ditch the 36mhz rx!). Engines have sat for a very long time and will need a good clean and bearings. Bit of hangar rash, but not a difficult project to get back in the air.  Very nice flying model with that great twin doppler. It will fly asymmetric but I recommend landing fast… read more

Hanger Clearance

In recent times some of you may have heard me saying that you should have asked me before going off and trying to order from somewhere online … Well I’ve decided to thin out a lot of stuff that I have in the hangar and will likely never get to build or fly.

There are a couple of foamies, that would like a new home such as my old battle weary Trojan T28 or the new still in box Skysword with 70mm EDF unit and retracts.

There are a number of balsa kits, mostly park fliers from Stevens Aero and Mozano Laserworks, but there is a 1/4 scale  Anderson Kingfisher kit from HangerOne in New Zealand (https://hangaronekits.com/collections/sport-aircraft-kits/products/anderson-kingfisher-108-90-to-120-size-laser-cut-short-kit).

I have a large number of smaller size electic motors, mostly used but from what I can tell they still function, several EDF fan units – mostly 70mm in size.

There is also a new Ortur Laser Master 2 that has been modified for Air Assist and has the 5.5w diode laser head (20W model) – https://youtu.be/wMw2vqhJEOk?t=1710 … I dont need 3 in the workshop 🙂

I will put together a list in the next week or so, but if you don’t want to wait just get in touch and ask read more
