For a number of years the 'Grant Mimloct Mass Launch' event has been conducted from both the U.K and the U.S.A. on a given date and has steadily received support in 2009, 177 models were simultaneously launched from all parts of the world. The 2010 Mass Launch is now scheduled for Saturday August 7th at 1700 hrs. British Summer Time i.e. 1200 hrs .New York, 0900 hrs. California, etc. For further details contact the website at http://www.mikedparker.karoo.net/ A CT plan may be downloaded from this site, which itself is well worth an inspection.
This postal competition has been arranged to give Cloud Tramp enthusiasts a further opportunity to fly their models, this time in a more competitive fashion. The contest opening is timed to coincide with the Mass Launch but flights may be made at any time thereafter until closure on September 30th.
Any version of the Cloud Tramp, and other essentially similar designs by C.H. Grant, is eligible, whether published or kitted, fitted with an 8" propellor (plastic optional) and any type of shaft bearing.
Five flights are to be made and recorded; the shortest and longest flights will be discarded and the remainder totaled, in seconds, to arrive at the final score.
The 'Builder of the Model' rule is not applicable to this contest, models may be freely exchanged and flown by individuals the purpose is to permit participation by as many as possible, particularly children and young people to whom the flying of this model may be an encouragement to further modeling activities.
There is no entry fee for this contest and the results will be published as widely as possible, by all available means. Photos and flying anecdotes are especially welcomed.
