Game Information (11am-1pm both days)
Get On Target (11am-11:45am both days)
There are two parts: one for planes with landing gear and one for planes without landing gear.
Currently we have two target areas marked on the field. One on the grass and one on the runway. Each target area consists of 3 rings (10’, 30’ & 50’) and a center spot. Note: To make things interesting, there will be a $3 entry fee. Winner takes 2/3rd of the pot and second place takes 1/3rd of the pot.

Wheeled Airplanes: Aircraft are placed anywhere on the runway outside of the 50’ ring. The plane throttles up and rolls toward the target. The pilot must then cutoff the engine before entering the 50’ ring and coast towards the bullseye. The pilot whose plane is closest to the bullseye wins (measured by the nose of the aircraft). A pilot is disqualified if he does not shutoff the engine within the 50’ circle or accelerates within the 50’ circle.
Non-wheeled Airplanes: Aircraft are hand launched (an assistant is allowed) and must fly out beyond the end of the runway. The plane can approach the target from any angle. The plane then glides into the circled area. Once the plane touches the ground the engine must be turned off. The pilot whose plane is closest to the bullseye wins (measured by the nose of the aircraft). A pilot is disqualified if he does not shutoff the engine after touchdown.
