1999 Eagles Cup Challenge
The Eagles Cup Challenge is a series of 10 fun fly events, one held each
month. The goal is to get pilots out flying more and to have fun. By
having only one event flown during the day, there is less disruption in
everyone's flying. It also tests the pilots skill in various conditions as
the weather here in New England is never the same 2 days in a row!!
- There are 2 classes for ALL events, OPEN and
STD.
- STD is any REGULAR airplane such as
trainer, low-wing sport, shoulder wing, etc. Some
examples are:
Easy Sport 40, Kavalier, TrainAir Series,
Cubs and the NE Aerodynamic Profile
War Birds.
- OPEN class is all FUN FLY type airplanes. Some
examples are:
Fun Ones, Blue Max, Tower Hobbies
Uproar, Lanier Pro-Twister, DuraPlane
FunFly 40, Morris Hobbies Sukhoi, etc. If
you are in doubt, the CD will tell you your
class.
- Participants can fly STD class planes in OPEN
class but OPEN class planes cannot be flown in
STD class.
- Final Scores are tallied from the best "8 out of
10" events. If you fly in all 10 events, throw out
your 2 lowest scores for your final score in the
challenge. Score totals to date for both classes
will be published each month in the newsletter so
you will know your standing and score.
Here is the list of events for each month along
with the CD in charge. Rules for each event will
be posted in the newsletter for the month they
are flown.
Please watch the newsletter for last minute
changes or call the CD. Expected dates are shown in the table below,
11am till 2pm unless otherwise noted. If the weather is bad, call
the CD or Mark Duckworth in the morning to find out if the event
is still on. If it's extremely windy, or heavy rain or snow, we will
reschedule
for the following Sunday.
