Report and photos from Richard Granger

We had 11 entries altogether, which wasn't bad for a first go.

Flights were judged on the total times of best 3 out of 10 in seconds. Chris Metcalfe won with 318 (third from the right),

 John Churchill came second with 297, Dave Fisher was third with 287 and Paul Briggs fourth with 285.

The rest of us wound up in the 250 bracket.....

A lot of furious winding, and some amazing flights through the girders (and some good hang ups)  

quite a few burst motors, a smattering of oaths and good fun was had by all ! 

Rat entrails !

Rat a twoeee

Rat up a drainpipe ?
