Schedule of Events

Spot Landing Touch-n-Go - Take-off and do as many touch-n-goes as you can in two minutes. You have to pass both ends of the runway between touches. The touch down has to be within a marked area on the runway to score. Number of touches times 10 is your score. Draw a card for takeoff, and another for landing on the runway. Each pass "behind the hill" between touch and go passes is worth 100 points. Inverted is 200 points.

Limbo - Take-off and fly for one minute. Each pass under the limbo pole is 10 points, inverted is 20 points. Draw a card on takeoff, and another on landing.

Lunch - A lunch consisting of grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, chips, soda and cookies will be provided free-of-charge to all club members and helpers. Lunch will also be available to all spectators and non-members for a nominal charge of $5.00.

Speed Run - Take-off and fly four laps around the runway length and land. Total Time is recorded from wheels up to wheels down. Draw a card for taking off, and another for completing the laps and landing on the runway. Time is subtracted from 100 to get the score.
