Buzzard Droppings April 2005

As you know, the main instigator for this competitive event is none other than our club treasurer, Bob Martin. His original suggestions for rules and process were modified by the members attending our last club meeting. So to clarify the rules and such, here’s the up-to-the- minute details as we currently understand them…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What:

Barnyard Buzzards Builder’s Competition

 

Who:

All members of the Barnyard Buzzards Club in good standing (dues paid)

 

When:

Starts October 5, 2004 during our club meeting at the Monroe Library. Judging will be done during our club meeting on May 3, 2005 by secret ballot of the meeting attendees. The May meeting will be at the Club Flying Field.

 

Why:

Bob mentioned that the event was to help encourage building of models, build camaraderie, and recognize our skilled builders.   (Also, some of us need to restock the hangar).

 

WIIFM (What’s in it for me?)

Unbelievable prestige and worldwide recognition for modeling prowess. Large model corporate sponsorship possible. Recruiters will be at the May meeting to observe the judging and awards presentation.

 

Does It Have to Fly (Before Judging):

No, but extra bonus points are awarded to the models that are flown!

Categories and Judging:

Two categories were suggested:

ARF

Scratch/Kit (extra points for scratch)

 

A special award presented by the Board of Directors for the most technically innovative model (special electronics, CO2, rubber power, diesel, jet, canard, ornothopter, rotary wing, etc). If you bring it , we’ll judge it!

 

Entry Fee and Qualification Details:

So, you ask what’s this going to cost? Well, entry fee is $10.00 per entry.  Modelers can submit more than one model. Each entry (model) must not be started prior to submitting the entry fee (bring the plan, kit, etc. to any club meeting before judging. Call Bob if you cannot attend a meeting and arrangements will be made.  Entries are accepted by the club secretary anytime between October 5, 2004 and May 3, 2005.
