The Hastings Skylarks hosted their annual SPA-like contest on Sunday, July 1st. We call it SPA-like as there are no limitations placed on the types of planes that can be flown. We fly the Novice, Sportsman and Expert SPA patterns. It has been an exceptionally windy spring and summer in this part of the world. Sunday started out with only moderate wind. It really started blowing toward the end of the contest. At least the temperature was comfortable.
Twelve pilots registered for the contest: four in Novice, three in Sportsman and five in Expert. Three rounds were flown. There were no mishaps.
Here are the results.
