Highland, Illinois: Talk about a contest!
How about eight months long! Last year’s
Jacob Lee Catapult Glider contest ran from
March to October, on the first Tuesday of
each month.
The contest was open to members of the
Thermaleers, NX-211, and the Breese RC
clubs of Missouri and Illinois. Each month
averaged 11 attendees. For the duration of
the contest, 86 contestants put in 774 flights.
Each contest day was limited to nine flights.
The pilots were awarded points
according to the place in which they
finished that day, then added to the previous
month’s totals. The highest scores were
declared the winners. Albert Zimmer sent in
the information and photo.
The winners of last year’s Jacob Lee Catapult
Glider contest were (L-R) Bob Stadler,
Conrad Rupert, and Phil Baggett.
