1960s Coupe d’hiver postal comp

[Jmk89]

Took Tyra out to set her up for contest flights in the next week or two.  A couple of test glides - looks good, gentle 'bouncy' glide and gentle right turn. 
Walk up and look at her before picking her up - the tail has come off in the landing?!

Damn

Double damn

The tail band has pulled the band/d/t hook out.  No chance of fixing it then and there - no pins or wire.  So no motor run today.

Hopefully, I'll get time to epoxy a new hook on (with some gauze fabric to strengthen the join) and do some trimming later this week.

Hi All
The southern hemisphere is now down to 6 days to put in flights. I have received scores from 9 flyers so far.

Well, I finally got Tyra ready to trim and I thought that I might trim her and be able to enter the comp today.  But it has been a very wet day, and, believe it or not I have to do paying legal work this week! So I will have to hope that the event is run again next year!

Looks a good entry. I missed out this year for the first time but will be back for the next one. I look forward to seeing the geographic distribution but it seems mostly Antipodes and US
