The Free Flight scale fly-in was a wonderful and well attended event, as well as general FF flying there were 3 closely fought contests for Flying Only, Scale Bungee launch Gliders and Kit Scale Duration. The video shows mostly the Flying Only competition ably judged by Bill Dennis. Marks are given for flight realism. 4 rounds were flown with the highest scoring flight counting. We had 11 entries in the flying only , 10 in the kit scale and 10 in the scale glider class which is fantastic for a new class
Huge thanks to Pete Fardell for the extra filming
