Saturday, February 1st 10am till whenever

In this contest there will be 3 events.

The 1st event- Dice roll

The pilot will roll a pair of dice to see how many loops he will perform. Timing starts when the wheels of the airplane leave the ground and stops when the wheels touch down. The fastest time wins.

A balloon will be placed on the runway at ground level. The pilot will taxi his airplane down the runway without lifting off and pop the balloon. The fastest time wins.

3rd event-Limbo

A streamer will be stretched across to the runway. The object of the event is to fly under the streamer. The lowest flight under the streamer without touching the runway wins. Extra consideration will be made for inverted flights.

-Cash payout for the 3 winners.

- The cash will be divided in thirds.

-Each event winner will receive a third of the cash!

OK Tony, just to clarify, are we required to fly the same plane in all 3 events?
My plans are changing for travel, so it looks like I can join the fun. 
Thanks,
Paul

That's good.  My plans changed too, but for the worse.  Drew and I are out but at least the Paul's will still be represented. ;)

Ben has a school obligation on Saturday morning, so we won't be able to make it. Likely we'll be up Sunday though if the weather holds.
