A scale fun fly contest was held in Lun Ha Wan north-facing slope in Sai Kung on Sunday, 4 December 2005. This is the first time such a scale contest was organized by The Hong Kong Radio Control Soaring Society. Lun Ha Wan is a newly discovered slope that was proved to be capable of providing good lift for all kinds of gliders. Interestingly, although we have many scale glider pilots on spot with their beloved scale gliders ready, only three pilots decided to join the contest! They are Ah Sang, Ah Mak and Stanley! Ah Sang is famous for his big scale gliders and is well-positioned to grab the title of the champion - possibly this is the reason why so many pilots are afraid to challenge him and decided not to participate, even our famous scale master C.M. has decided to quit at the last moment, no...no, this is not true - he got sick after spending hours in searching for his downed plane in Ma On Shan a day before! Anyway, Ah Mak should be honored as the most courageous pilot because his contesting glider is Scorpion which is not even classified as a scale! "May be the real one will exist in the future", said Mak. OK, let him participate! The judging team consists of seven volunteers who rated the contesting pilots and their gliders according to two major categories; static outlooks on ground and cruising beauty on fly. A score sheet is attached here for reference. Ah Sang did very well on all categories. Although Ah Mak's glider received low scores on the static part, he did exceptional well on landing. Stanley was just average with a few disappointing stall turns. After the show times by the three contesting pilots, the results are summed among the 7 judges. Here is the ranking list:
The champion, Ah Sang, will receive a sponsored prize of a realistic looking Windrider's Airliner. Thanks Tsz Ming of Windrider Aviation Ltd. for his generosity. A BBQ was also organized for the r/c soarers and their families. The venue is in Lun Ha Wan BBQ ground. The children were particularly happy because they have wonderful times on the hill as well as on the beach. Thank you all for the wives who took care of all of the energetic kids. Good food and friendly conversation mark the success of a wonderful event, cheers and see you next year! |
