UPDATE 6-4-09
Hi All
To enable as many members as possible to enter the competition the following dates have been changed;-

Because of Easter weekend the spot landing contest originally scheduled for saturday 11th April will now be held on saturday 18th April Because of a  clash of dates with the Model Airshow at Blackbush the Limbo contest originally scheduled for saturday 16th May will now be held on saturday 9th May

Attachments this mail show the detailed rules of each contest...which are more or less self explanatory but if you have any queries please ask me and i will endeavour to clarify things.
Also a picture of SLEC`s bomb and pictures of my interpretation of the same with release mechanism ....along with an arrester hook using the same hardware.To answer one question .....you do not need to use the same model throughout the whole competition (choosing the most suitable airframe for each contest is all part of the fun and skill) but you cannot change model during the course of an individual contest.
Along with a certificate there will be an inexpensive and slightly useful prize for the winner of each contest and a slightly less inexpensive and marginally more useful prize for the winner of the competition overall.
S so lets hope the weather holds good and we all have some fun with this
