5th Ottawa Electric Fun Fly
June 12-13 2004
We had 39 registered pilots and many visitors over the weekend at the Rideau Flyers field, with most of the attendance on Saturday. The activities were mostly free flying, with some friendly competitions as listed below the pictures. MAAC medals were awarded to the top 3 positions in each event.

* number of paces was used to break ties
** two flights where flown some time apart, the scores where not
normalized for the sake of simplicity.
Special Notes:
- Praise for Etienne for doing so well with a high wing
trainer type airplane.
- Praise also for Bob for doing so well with an Old Timer type
converted wakefield.
- Closest to the landing spot Graham at 1/2 pace.
- Jeff used his electric mini Playboy when his Hi-Tech F5J
plane was having some radio problems.
- Praise also for Doug, a relatively new flyer to electric sailplanes
and his new Ascent for giving this a try
- Paul Penna, the gracious gentleman that he is, for passing on turning
in an official flight because of a frequency conflict and other traffic
- Also for Pierre, our CD, for passing up on flying so that others
might have an oppourtunity to do so.
