FLYING and SCORING SUMMARY: see detailed rules in pdf format
- Altitude recording chips are mandatory and are provided at the contest site if needed. The chips must be set to limit motor run to 30 seconds and must be capable to being checked by the CD. Software is available at the contest site on a laptop to check Soaring Circuits CAM F5J or AerobTec Altis V4+ altimeter switches.
- Launch and landing directions will be announced before the start of task time for each group.
- It is the responsibility of each pilot to fly his model in a safe manner. A ‘no-fly zone’ will be enforced.
- You or your helper may retrieve your model at any time as long as you are not putting yourself in danger or impeding a competitors landing.
- If a model hits any person at any time during the flight or landing, including the pilot or helpers, a zero score will result for that flight.
- Dangerous flying, in the opinion of the contest director will result in a loss of points or disqualification., such as flying over no-fly zone, launching from pit area, and landing in pit area. Additionally, your helper should make sure that your intended landing zone is clear of people before you land.
- In the interest of expediency, flight classes may be combined within groups. Classes will be scored separately.
- The CD will announce additional rules/restrictions as field conditions may warrant.
- The most widely used altitude recording devices are the Aerobtec Altis: http://www.aerobtec.com/products/rc-electronics/altis-v4/ and the Soaring Circuits CamF5J: http://www.soaringcircuits.com/
