Hand Catch and Spot
Landing Contest
25
July, 2010
|
|
|
A hand catch landing
contest was successfully run in Clearwater Bay flying site on
25 July 2010.
The wind condition
of the day was basically
clam, so it was well suitable for this kind of contest.
The handcatch contest was even more fun! Again it was divided into
qualifying and final sessions. Five rounds were conducted in each
session. Top 5 pilots were selected from the qualifying contest into the
final. Kenneth and Third Brother both scored full 15 marks in the
qualifying session. They did the same in the final, so further rounds
were run for the matched score pilots. But still after 8 further rounds,
they both got full marks, then handcatch was performed by doing invert
flight. Finally, Kenneth was able to score 2 marks from invert flight
while Third Brother failed to do so. So, the title of the King of Hand
Catch Pilot was awarded to Kenneth. Congratulation! The result of hand
catch contest is shown in the table below:
