2015 Ringmaster Flyathon Final Results

Attached is the 2015 Ringmaster, dates 3 & 4 October with make up dates 10 & 11 October due to bad weather. As you see, the numbers have grown since 2013. Next year I think it possible to have even a greater outcome, as others post word to their friends, acquaintances and other clubs.

Had a good telephone conversation with John Cralley this morning. We talked for about a half hour. Joey Mathison and Richard Grogan are properly mentioned as the creators of the Fly-A-Thon. I've taken my name off it, as there were a number of individuals as contributors to the promotion, data collection and dissemination, which I am only a small part of. It took a whole team of individuals to make this fly-a-thon work, to include those overseas and locally who promoted it with their fliers and their communities.

CL is normally not defined as being a drone due to its tethered nature. It requires skill to fly the complete AMA or other competition patterns. Perhaps in places where RC flight is restricted could provide an outlet for RC'ers who have been bitten by the CL bug. CL is definitely not dead by any means, as shown by these numbers, which are increasing.

Enjoy! and please note that any Ringmaster with a Cox engine from .010 and up also qualify for this event. Even variants qualify (change size, alter fuselage, make biplane, triplane, gyrocopter, canard, X-wing, jet, etc.; move wing and tail feathers around but retain same wing and tail outlines.)
