Feb 18 - Radian Glider Comp
It was a lovely day, with not too much wind, and a blue sky peeking throught the clouds. Somehow, however, this did not translate into great flying weather.
There would be a little wind from the west, and then from the north. Then there would be no wind, or it would blow in great gusts from the south. It was all over the place. At the end of the second round a willy-willy swept across the flight line and the aircraft in the air felt safer than those on the ground!
Perhaps as a result of the wind, the thermals were elusive. We also saw some amazing sinks, with models just dropping out of the sky.
Still, we had fun. If there had been more of us it would have been better, and flying split rounds meant that those in different halfs of the round could be flying in very different conditions. There was some good, consistent flying in challenging conditions.
Results:
| First | Stuart Sinclair | 1177 |
| Second | Roy Butterfield | 1098 |
| Third | Brian Deason | 1063 |
Brian Deason (3rd), Stuart Sinclair (1st), Roy Butterfield (2nd)

Happy New Year... ... and Some Good News
The Club would like to wish all its members a Happy New Year, and wishes the same to all the other pilots and visitors who visit this web site. Here's hoping that 2018 is a good year for all.
And now for the good news. I've just received conformation that we have a new supporter for our Scanner Challenge, and the company is O'Reilly Model products (OMP) and so the Scanner Challenge continues. It will now be known as the “O.M.P. Scanner Challenge”.
This will the 6th time we have had this special event, and what makes it even more special is that this year is the 20th anniversary of the ARF Phoenix Scanner Aircraft.
So we thank very much our new sponsor, “O.M.P.” for supporting this wonderful fun filled scanner racing event, along with Phoenix Models and OS Engines.
