A couple of the pics show John and Bernie trying to
explain the new scoring system - it actually worked well and allowed Brian W
and John A to go head to head for a little Kit Scale competition. Brian set the
bar with a 23 second flight from his Jodel. John was flying Brian Lever's
Stinson Station Wagon which he had purchased for the princely sum of £1.
This model was a successful entry in the Nats in 2013 but is now rather heavy
and was refusing to fly. After a few tweaks however John got a 22 second
flight. Adding a hundred turns for a flight in the last few minutes got him 25
seconds, only to find Brian had pipped him with 26!
Dave Leech also got an exceptional duration flight of over
3 minutes.

The foam peanut is a Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien by Gary Flack, he was
struggling to get consistent flights but it has real potential.
 
Graham's model is a Keil Kraft Lysander, another one that has a
reputation as a struggle to trim but Graham managed some nice circuits with
it.
My Tucano took a little time to get right but after adding a
little downthrust it was flying nicely (video to come).
