Any information on the 2-Meter contest this weekend at Twin Towers (Start time, rules, who is CDing, etc).
Saturday looks a little windy, but Sunday looks pretty good.

Got the info (in case you are not on "Group Me").
Todd Anderson said it is an "ALES 100 or bungee launch 2-Meter contest.  Primarily balsa-built gliders, but Radians are OK too.
Flight Goal is 6 minutes.  Landing points for "in the circle".
Start time = 9:00 am.  Bring your own lunch.  Contest fee = $5
Scoring will be manual (Tell Al your time and in-or-out landing).

Todd will let us know Friday if the contest will be Saturday (forecasted windy) or Sunday (probably more likely).

If you have any questions - call Todd (614) 257-9686.
 - Mike

I believe Todd Anderson is CD
100m limit
No lunch
$5 entry 
9am meeting

It's set for Saturday now but I agree Sunday would be a better option for as light as these are.

We are having a 2 meter contest this weekend. I am the CD. Pilots meeting at 0900. Rules are ALES with 100 m launch. Bungee launch will be allowed. Landing bonus is in or out. We agree with your weather forecast. It is scheduled for Saturday but many would prefer the better weather predicted for Sunday. How can we get the message out there?

It's being discussed right now about whether to move it to Sunday. I'll post it.

It will be on Sunday! 

From Todd:  Popular voting says contest on Sunday. Can someone call Bill and Don?
