Entries are coming in fast now, including some from Mynd members who are proud owners of vintage aircraft. But don’t forget the club has two K13s and a K8 that are eligible to enter so why not use one of them to have a go. There is also a T21 though we haven’t yet received an entry for it. The event is run as a normal competition but inevitably with smaller tasks, even though in lower performance machines they will still be a challenge. There will be lots of people around so field retrieves should be a doddle. If you need some cross country or competition experience find a Mynd instructor or competent cross country pilot and book a club machine together and give it a go. Great way to dip a toe.
