Sunday 28th July 2024 saw the first official BMFA ‘Flying Only’ scale competition held at the Wimborne Model Aero Club’s fantastic Cashmoor site. This was an event postponed from earlier in the year due to strong Northerly winds being forecast, although the wind did set some challenges for flyers at this re arranged event also, swinging to almost 90 deg to the main runway directions (luckily south) during the day and becoming quite strong as the day progressed. However, despite some initial concerns about entry numbers due to clashes with other local club Fly Ins and the Old Warden Scale Day, a creditable (for first ever proper comp) entry of 8 competitors materialised, including two entries from the Wimborne Club.
