Come join us on Sept 24-27, 2020 for the next Spirit of St Louis F2A World Cup and the F2A Speed Cup of Canada world Cup to be held at Buder Park
You can earn TWO flight scores towards the F2A world Cup at these two contests held over a 4 day period because of the Canada & USA sanctions
This is Buder Park where we fly the F2A World Cup – this flying site has a fully paved circle with a safety fence (38.5416, -90.4910)
Lines are rolled out in this area and then brought into the speed circle
The Pavillion has picnic tables to work on the engines / models between flights
Our carrier deck doubles as an area to prep the model for flying
The officials are under this tent to record the speed of the model. We use the computer based speed measurement method which will give you the speed for all of the laps
view from the center of the circle, the circle is flat and was resealed in Oct 2019
Another view of the carrier deck with speed models being prepared for flying. Our two paved circles for general CL flying can be seen in the background
Pilots have a clear view of the officials to signal when the flight is to start
The while board with red lines is used to judge if the model is too high or low. The pylon height can be easily adjusted for the pilot’s height
