I don't have any suggestions but will be there for the October contest. Hope you're up for another glider battle!

   Hi All,
         I will be the Contest Director for the Bong Eagle's Indoor Contest being held on October 1st and October 2nd, 2016 in the Rantoul Hanger (approx 43 ft ceiling). I am trying to understand what  might encourage participation and am interested in people's comments on what might get you to come to this contest. this weekend.   We plan to hold the AMA events that people are interested in flying and possible supplemental events.   
One supplement event suggested by Al Stone  will be held on this weekend--> a Mini Air Race.  The rules are below.
I was also thinking about  holding some educational seminars.  Is anyone interested in these?  If so please let me know in what your interested in being presented.  I will then try to get an experience modeler to make up the presentation and give it sometime during that  weekend.   Since my expertise is gliders I would be willing to do a presentation on gliders, if anyone is interested.
 Please let me know what you would like.  Any other supplement events?   I am hoping to make this an educational and fun weekend and need your input.
Thanks,Kurt


   
   - Bong Eagles Mini Air Racing
   - Model must resemble a "Golden Age" Air racer. (Reasonable imitation) CCW rotation
   - CD will supply 1-strip of 1/4" X 24" rubber. CD will also plan race pairings per how many contestants enter.
   - Contestant must use this. Replacements will be provided.
   - Only design rules are: Built up fuselage,(sheet or stick) 12" wingspan min., swivel eye in wingtip. ROG landing gear with 2-wheels.
   - Models must have a visible racing number on tail sides and wing.
   - Models will sport racing colors.
   - 2- up format on one pole both models to start ROG 180-degrees apart.
   - Timer starts models with a 3-2-1 ....release.
   - First model to fly the fastest 5-laps is the winner. Overall winner is determined through elimination flyoffs.
   - No fouls or grievances due to entanglements. This is supposed to be fun!
   - Models need 1-wing connection to the line from the pole. A fishing clip/snap swivel is to be imbedded at the wingtip.
   - The pole stands 5-feet tall with one top rotation point at 5-feet and 1-bottom rotation point at 3-feet above the ground. The timer will flip coin to see who gets what position.
   - The line to each model is 2-4# Spiderline (fishing line) with a small ring at each end.
