Eagles,
 
Bob Terry has volunteered to be the CD for the upcoming eagles cup on June 7 th and below are the details of the event.   This looks like a fun event for all skill levels although I think the tree penalty is a little harse.   Time to practice those harrier landings.  See you at the field for the club meeting at Noon after eagles cup.

 

Precision Landing

There will be 4 circles painted on the field.  The object will be to land and stop within the circles on the field.  There will be two rounds of competition.  During the first round each pilot will land and obtain a score.  The total score will be the sum of the zone that the plane lands in, plus the zone that the plane comes to rest in.  Pilot flight order will reverse during the second round of competition.  Each pilot will land and obtain a score in the same manner as the first round of competition.  The highest sum after both landings wins.  Scoring:  100 points for center, 70 points next outer, 50 points next outer, and 10 points for outer most.  If a plane touches down in the center but rolls out of the outer most circle, the total points will be 100.  If the plane touches down and stops in the middle zone, the total score will be 200 points.  Flight line violations will result in a disqualification.   Landing in a tree or outside the flying field will result in a -100 point score for the landing attempt.  If a pilot fails to land or stop in a circle, as a tiebreaker, they will be scored on closest distance to the center of the circles.  Pilots are not allowed to use the throttle once the aircraft touches the ground (not allowed to taxi to a circle).
