Crawley K2 FF Indoor Meeting 2010

The SEBMFA Crawley Free Flight Indoor Meeting at K2 takes place on Sunday 7 February. There will be a mix of fun and competition flying from 11am to 6pm including the popular Butterfly and Hangar Rat mass launches - models can be obtained from Flitehook in kit or ready built form.

Due to a double-booking, we will have only two thirds of the hall, with the full-height curtains separating us from a table-tennis tournament. The good news is that the flying area is still more than adequate for our needs. The hall has been booked by us for next year and we have been promised the full hall.

This year sees the introduction of 12 inch Catapult Glider and Gyminnie Cricket rubber competitions in the K2 program.

The Catapult glider should have a 12 inch max projected span, 3 inch max wing chord, tailplane area no more than 50% of wing area. Catapult launching stick max length 6 inches.

The contest will be held during the HLG slot

The AMA Glider website provides the plans of a simple starter model called appropriately Simple Simon

The Gyminnie Cricket is a proven beginners model that has a fine performance. The BMFA Indoor webpage contains building & flying info as well as Gyminnie Cricket plan

The contest will be flown in the LRS/EZB slot
