Second Spot Landing Contest for the Year 2007
16 September 2007 |
|
The second spot
landing contest for the year 2007 was held on 16 September, 2007. The
venue was Fei Ngo Shan east-facing slope. Since the weather forecast for
the day was light wind, many r/c pilots thought that the contest would
be cancelled, therefore, only a few pilots came and joined the contest.
Finally, a total of 11 pilots joined the contest. Because the flying
site was not the same as that of the previous contest, we had to select a
proper landing spot for the contest. After a few trail and test flights,
a nice spot two meters below the plane resting area on the bush near the ridge
edge was identified. The contest was officially started at 2pm. Eric was
the first pilot to fly and he closed in near enough to score 3 marks.
Lee Man followed with a full score of 5 marks. The scores for the
following rounds varied tremendously. After five rounds of intensive and
full-of-fun contest, Eric and Lee Man stood out with the same score, so
these two men had to flght against each other to grab the title of
champion. After three additional rounds of pair-wise contest, Eric
finally won the contest with his outstanding landing skill. Lee Man
gracefully got a first runner-up. The second runner-up went to little Black
Boy. The contest drew to the end at about 4pm. Thanks for coming!

"My bum is the spot!
OK, see how you can get to!"
|

"Right on the target! Ha Ha, five marks!"
|

Try to locate the most tricky landing spot
|

The landing skills for all pilots were equally
excellent
|

The contesting pilot had to stand behind Ah
Man to sheer his plane to the right spot
|

"Let's measure; a
score of 1 mark or 3 marks?"
|

Tsz Ming seemed to have derived a good approach. He
said "enter a dive!"
|

Ah Joe was right on the target with a hard
vertical
dive!
|

"Wonderful! I got a full score of 5 marks!"
|

Lee Man got a zero mark with an incorrect
landing approach!
|

Uncle Chan said "Don't just bull shit, you
have a go!"
|

Nobody had confident on Ah Ken's landing skill
- didn't want to see!
|

"Hei! no need to measure, it's is far
outside!"
|

Ah Joe had some queries: ..."ok, all my fault!"
|

Same score for the two top fighters, so
unavoidably, there will be a fight between them. OK, let started the
bussiness of accurate spot landing for glider pilots
|

Black Boy got the second runner-up
|

Lee Man got the
first runner-up
|

The Champion title went to Eric
|

Well, you are happy
