Trinity Malmstrom Melee December 2023

The Christmas 2023 Trinity meeting was a Malmstrom Melee. Ray Malmstrom was a prolific designer of often quirky designs, for more info have a look at www.modelaircr...
The event saw 24 entries form the very simple flat plate wing designs to twins and scale models Voting slips handed to all provided a static score and the flying was the total of any two flights.
It was a great fun event with some lovely flights made, I think from memory the winner Mike Stuart had a total of around 70s with his Bi-Star.
I spent much of the trimming..well fighting my Miss Starstuck twin..every flight is different ! anyway I did manage a couple of 19 second flights in the end which I was happy with. The downside is I didn't get to video as many Malmstroms as I'd hoped
I did manage to get ...
Pete Brown's Concours winning Eastbourne Monoplane
Mike Stuart's Bi-Star on an unusually errant flight
Lurk's Tomtit triplane
GM's lovely Avenger twin
and few other models..
Peter Smart's Fliver
Steve Edwards cabin model .. Tiddler ?
Peter Smart's Comper Swift

That was an impressive turnout of a good variety of Malmstrom designs. Who won?

Mike Stuart won overall with his Bi-Star, Nick Peppiatt I think came second with his Featherfly and Peter Brown with his Eastbourne Monoplane but I may be miss remembering..I didn't write it down

Missed out Steve Haines who came third with his Wren. Peter won best in the static
