COWPAT FIELD COMPETITION  - FEBRUARY 17TH.  2008.

A new year is upon us, and today was our first competition day.

The original intention was to try to squeeze 4 comps. into what we hoped would be a long warm summer day, but as we all know, this summer is noticeably lacking in warm, fine, (not to mention windless) days. This day was devoid of rain showers at Cowpat, but by midday, or thereabouts, the wind was not quite strong enough to blow the Ticks off a dog – but nearly!  Obviously, some were scared off by the forecast, and some, of course, had family commitments, so there was only a light attendance.
Those that made it had to contend with a very sloppy field, and mowing the heavy growth, including inside the shed meant we were away to a late start.

In the event, only one foreshortened comp. was held, with results as follows:-

Thanks go to Alan Brand and Paul Nightingale, who turned up intending to fly Class “B” Duration, but acted as Contest Directors for the the above. Class “B” will have to be fitted in later, I guess.

 

COWPAT FIELD COMPS.  MARCH 16TH. 2008.

Two competitions were scheduled for today, but once again, the weather dictated otherwise. The conditions early on were broken cloud with a light S.E.wind, but by the time of the fly-off for the first comp. (Toby Low memorial Duration), the wind had increased in velocity so that fly-off times were low. An adjournment was called for lunch, and the wind picked up with the result that he majority of those present elected not to fly the second comp. (Class”A” Duration).

COWPAT FIELD COMPS.  – 24/02/2008.

The day dawned bright and stayed that way. There was no wind to speak of in the morning, and it was hot. First competition was the “out of Bounds” Antique 38, and the C.D. was Greg Martin. Results were as follows :-

Second comp. for the day was Nostalgia, and in comparison to the Antique, entry numbers were disappointing. The comp. did not commence until about 2.30 p.m., by which time a sea breeze had developed, making for much more pleasant conditions.

Results were as follows:-

COWPAT FIELD COMPETITIONS  27TH. April, 2008.

 On an almost perfect day, a large contingent fronted for an open Texaco competition,

followed by a One cc Texaco competition. The open Texaco comp. was notable in that

in the flyoff, 3 flyers landed with only 2 seconds between each of  them!

COWPAT FIELD COMPS. 22ND. JUNE – ARTHUR GORRIE MEMORIAL

We couldn’t have asked for better weather for the Arthur Gorrie interclub day – but if you want to get picky, flying in the afternoon with a cloudless sky and the breeze blowing directly out of the sun was less than perfect – however, considering the number of events “blown away” this year, I guess we shouldn’t complain!

The day kicked off with the signature event, Open Duration, followed by Open Texaco, and 2cc LER. The Arthur Gorrie Shield now returns to NMAA, because Dave Perkins competed this year. (No surprise there -he didn’t make it last year!)

Congratulations Dave, and to the other winners, Dave Paton, and Arnold Broese.

COWPAT  FIELD  COMPS.  06/07/2008.

 

After very ordinary weather the previous day, Sunday 6th. dawned, if not perfect, at least reasonable, with moderate Southerly breezes during the morning, swinging to lighter North Easterlies later in the day, and some cloud, especially during the a.m. Des. Slattery undertook the C/D role for the first comp. (Nostalgia), and Alan Brand officiated for the Class “A” Duration event in the p.m. One thing is clear from the results in recent comps. – some of us (and that includes your recorder) will have to start using these ancient diesels as fishing sinkers!

COWPAT  FIELD  COMPS.  20/07/08.

Three comps. were scheduled for today, the first being the Allan Mowat Memorial 2cc combined event, which was abandoned due to bad weather before the second (Texaco) segment could even be flown on April 6th. Unfortunately, 3 who started on that day could not complete the comp. today. The second event for today was the “A” class Texaco, and the last was Class “B” Duration. The day started brilliantly – literally – there were no clouds and negligible wind. As the day progressed, the wind appeared blowing from the NW (straight out of the sun!), and gradually increasing in speed , eventually turning NE, and moderating at the end of the day when a broken cloud cover appeared. The day was not without mishap. Mick Walsh and Peter Doolan both finished up in trees on the top of the hill at different times, and Alan Brand had to trek to a neighbouring property to recover his model, which lost an argument with a barbed wire fence! By -the-way, many thanks to those club members who assisted all 3 retrieve their models.

Results were as follows:-

COWPAT FIELD COMPS. 03/08/0

We don’t often have weather the like of which we experienced this day. Beautiful; clear blue skies (a few clouds would have made the models easier to see at altitude, mind you), light variable winds, and a good roll-up into the bargain. Mike Moore was C/D for the first comp., which was Antique ’38. The second comp was scheduled to be Ian Alexander’s ½A Scale  event, but unfortunately, Ian rang us at the field to tell us the disturbing news that his wife had been rushed to hospital. Monique is on the mend now, thank goodness. Anyway, an impromptu meeting at lunch time decide to just run the event as a scale Texaco competition, and yours truly volunteered to be C/D.

The day’s results follow:-
