Buzzard Droppings February 2009

 

What:

Barnyard Buzzards Builder’s Competition

 

Who:

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

 

When:

Starts October 7, 2008 during our club meeting at Alfy’s Pizza. Judging will be done during our club meeting on May 5, 2009 by the appointed judges. 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. R/C Corporate sponsorship and contracts are again possible. Recruiters will be at the May meeting to observe the judging and awards presentation.  And unbelievable prizes (photo plaques) will be awarded.

 

Does It Have to Fly (Before Judging):

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

 

Categories and Judging:

Three or four categories were suggested:

J ARF

J Scratch

J Kit

J Overall Builders Award

A special award is 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 model. Modelers can submit more than one model. Each entry (model) must not be started prior to submitting the entry fee (no need to bring the plan, kit, etc. to the club meeting ). Call Rick Hanners if you cannot attend a meeting and arrangements will be made.  Entries are accepted by the club secretary anytime between now and May 5, 2009.

 

Other Questions:

Answers to questions covering any details not expressly covered by this document can be expressed during any club meeting or through Vince Bell and the other judges who will confer with each other and respond.
