Bungee and Handlaunch Gilder Contest
5 January 2003

A bungee and handlaunch glider contest was held in Ngon Ping, Ma On Shan on Sunday 5 January 2003. Totally eight r/c pilots participated in this contest. The contest was started at 2:30pm and finished at 5:00pm. Two rounds of bungee launch with spot landing and a handlaunch duration contest were held. The champion of the day is K.Y. Mak with an overall score of 481. Congratulation! The competition was tense and was very challenging because there was lots of downwind turbulence. The detailed scores are shown below::
