Since our Olde Tyme Fun Fly got weathered out, we will go ahead and have one in conjunction with this picnic.
Olde Tyme Fun Fly at 4pm: This will NOT be the same as our normal Fun Fly (Bomb Drop, Limbo, etc.). We will instead have team events that some might consider silly. This event will be open to anyone with a current AMA.
Planned events for the Fun Fly are: (in no particular order)
Egg Drop: This is a team event where one pilot drops the egg from his plane, and the other tries to catch it - typically in a bucket or a skillet. Oh, and the eggs are NOT hard-boiled.
Black Jack: Numbered squares will be laid out on the runway. Both team pilots will take off and then do touch-n-gos in the squares to score points. The objective is to get as close as they can to 21 without going over. Pilots decide who will go first, but then they must alternate until they decide to stop.
Air Mail: The airmail pilot attaches a "letter" to his plane, takes off, does a loop, roll and then lands. The mailman (his team mate) retrieves the letter from the plane, after it comes to a stop and hand carries it to the person it is addressed to. Timer starts on takeoff and stops when letter is delivered. Shortest time wins.
Oh Crap!: One team member takes off, and his team mate rolls a pair of dice. Whatever number is rolled, this same number has to be rolled again before the guy flying can land. Event is timed from initial dice roll to landing. Shortest time wins.
Picnic @ 6pm:The Picnic will begin at 6pm, and is open to anyone - including non-flyers. Hopefully everyone will work up an appetite during the Fun Fly. The club will provide the meat (hamburgers/hotdogs/etc) and drinks. We ask that attendees bring either a covered dish (with food in it) or a dessert.
Night Fly (after dark):If you have planes with lights, be sure to bring them so you can fly after it gets dark!
Hope to see you there!
