Can we do an old Timers Event? I have a few goodies I would like to show off..
Count me in. My dad and I have a sixty year old FF that's being converted to RC which will be ready...sometime.

Looks like a 400 class Formosa race...
Most of our events are old-timer events. ;D
(Age discrimination :o)
I like to watch the videos from the Cocklebarrow Vintage Events! :)
I would like to see a casual flying event here but I wonder on the number of pilots who would attend.

That was a fun video to watch. The old timers float around so nicely.
The narrator is funny and it was funny how they only use the first 5 feet of the landing strip ;D
Thanks for sharing, Chris.

I have a nice ole Buzzard Bombshell that would love to participate in an Old Timers event!
Great idea, Greg!

Casual Flying... I think I heard of that before...

Here is the companion to the other video but just shows Cocklebarrow in still pictures. Also includes commentary.

Hi Guys, check out the Poll and let me know how much interest there is.
Jack, Special Events.
I would try to make it, barring conflicts with other contests :)
(Unfortunately that happens all the time it seems)
I even have a plane for it ;D

Just flying or would you like some sort of contests?
Jack.
Just noticed that the Spirit of Yesteryear line of oldtimer kits is available once again... from Brodak Industries:

I guess people/members could always arrange an informal event day, and Pre arrange a day to meet at TEMAC. Sort of like the float flying. It wouldn't necessarily need to be a BBQ/fun fly type thing. Kind of like Battle of Britain day was this year (thanks to Bill.)
The poll we did earlier in the year did not have "Old Timers" in the top 5 events.
Wha* you can't change your mind EH!
Gordon that old Playboy looks awfully enticing.
Jack.
Does my 70s era Sailaire count?
I wonder if Eric Adams still has Michael's ancient 7.5 foot Super Buccaneer...

Wow... Just wow...
Who's that kid holding that red plane?
Maybe we can make the event: bring the oldest plane you own.
That might be a lot of fun actually.

LOL! With the way some people use up planes. They will be bringing the new one they bought last week from the hobby shop.

It would depend on how the organizers setup up the event.
I have looked into the Cocklebarrow event and to fly there, basically it must be a RC plane. (ie no free flight or control line) The models must have been kitted or plans released before December 1965. Power systems - fuel, electric and gliders allowed.
A Parkzone foamy Se5a wouldn't be allowed. While it is a WW1 design the model itself wasn't released until after the 1965 date. This is a SAM event and they only want the early designs.
