CA Update

CA is experiencing excellent growth! Not only can we report back on

CA@Barnstomers but guys Like Karl Spanningberg with his friends also

completed the first ever CA@Snoopies (Krugersdorp) and Carlo Steyn with

his buddies tested the concept at Ni&da in the Western Cape (Kuilsriver),

all with good results and posi&ve feedback. At this rate we might see the

first Inter-Club Challenge later this year! A big thank you to all for making

this dream come true, it is appreciated more than you know. Let us hope

more clubs will join the fun and that we can perhaps see a na&onal club

championships one day soon.

CA@Barnstormers on 3 May 2015

The event was sponsored by Hobby Centre with par&cipa&on from Hobby Centre as well. We saw 5 Junior entries, 10 Stand-

ard Entries and 7 Top Notch Entries, total entries then 22 which is not bad considering the event took place during a long

weekend.

Willem van der Veer and Ma8hys Botha did S&g duty on the two flight lines employed during the day. Dave operated his

Snoopy which is pre8y standard by now, thank you Dave, it is appreciated. Van Zyl could only a8end the opening and Tim

Rossouw manned the sta&on for the remainder of the day.

From the results it looks like the compe&&on was fierce to say the least. To see 5 Junior entries was also great to see!

1 Ma8hew Deutschmann Ma8hy 74.39%

2 Stanton Sommer Phantom 74.39%

3 Ryan Labuschagne Lappies 71.95%

4 Daniel Finch Topgun 69.51%

5 Francois Strydom Fransie 58.54%

Lappies had the best score in the second round but his first round kept him down and the day belonged to Ma8hy and

Panthom as joined winners. Fransie started with his first round at 39% and “creamed” his second round with 67%...well

done Fransie, that is what I call serious improvement! Looking at the results they were not that far apart.

Neville won the prize for best Whistle Blower!

In Std 10 pilots joined in on the fun. The results very close indeed!

Feeling sorry for Mr G doing a second round at almost 80% but

loosing out due to a not so good first round.

Venter survived the first round and then lost all his marbles with almost 85% the second round to take 2nd spot be-

hind Mr Futaba. Mr Futaba is growing in leaps and bounces since he started his CA journey...I sense an upgrade? Also

worth men&oning sir Sher..well done boet! Look at the difference between 3 and 4...eish...and 5th...Boyscout is hav-

ing plans it looks like...tryging to summarize a picture from the scored is difficult seeing how close the chaps are to

each other. At the end of the day all had good fun in true CA spirit!

Not bad Shummie, even in last place aKer your upgrade! It was a heated affair with very li8le to choose in the top

posi&ons! I wonder what the effect of bribing was? Mad Max and Freddo has opposite rounds and Freddo made

3rd by almost zippo points. It also looks like Mr Cool is not that safe any more? Thys “die RC klong” was breathing

down Mr Cools’ neck!
