 L.D.M.F.A..............July 16 2000 On July 16 2000 the Lilydale and District Model Flying Association (LDMFA) held another of it’s 20 Lap handicap pylon racing events. This is an event where you don’t have to have a super fast pylon racer to win the day. You are basically flying against yourself. This is not to say that the racing isn’t close and exciting, some of the more experienced pylon flyers have a lot of fun with some very close racing and the first timer can get in there and have a chance to fly around the course.
On this day, the weather was fine with a slight breeze. We had an incredible turn up with 24 entries in the race with 14 models in the RCM Xpert class and another 10 in the open class.
For details of what the 20 lap handicap event consists of, you can find out from John Hughan’s Pylon racing web site.
The excellent attendance must be attributed mainly to the rise in popularity of the RCM X-Pert common model project that originated from Lilydale.
With the increase in interest in this event particularly from the growing ranks of the RCM X-PERTs, the future of this event and pylon racing in general is looking good!
In the X-Pert Class, the winners were: In the open class Nick Pointer won the sports class. This was his first Pylon event having only recently received his bronze wings.
