Streamer cutting
1 Four
streamers are dropped from a plane upwind.
2 Before
the streamers are dropped you start airborne and tell the pilot when you are
ready for the drop.
3
The
streamers are ballasted to drop straight this will make them an easier target
and stop them blowing away.
4
You
get 1 point for every streamer you cut.
5
Each
pilot gets three attempts at this.
Climb and glide
1. The
plane takes off and climbs as quickly as possible and timed up until the point
where the pilot announces that he is cutting the engine.
2. At
this point the time of the glide is timed until the wheels touch the ground.
3. The
final score is glide time/climb time.
4. Due
to the high score that may be obtained with a short engine run and long glide
due to ground affect a glide time of less
than 15 seconds results in no score.
5. If
the engine cuts before the pilot states he is cutting the attempt is deemed
aborted and another go is allowed.
Spot landing 2
1.
The pilot takes off and after 30 seconds is told to cut the engine.
2. He
must then land as near to 40 seconds later and as near to the cross as possible
measured from where the plane comes to rest.
3.
If
the distance from the cross is greater than 50' the distance is counted as 50'.
4.
The
score is the distance from the cross + 10" for every second away from 40
seconds.
5. If
the engine cuts before 30 seconds is up you may have another attempt.
Limbo 1
1. The
limbo poles are set with one tape at the maximum height.
2. The
time starts when the plane successfully passes through the limbo.
3. The
time is stopped when the plane successfully passes through the limbo again.
4. The
plane must not touch the ground between passing through the limbo the first time
and the second time.
5. Both
passes may be in any direction all the plane must pass through the limbo, if the
plane hits the poles or the tape this is okay as long
as the limbo poles are still standing and the tape is still intact.
6. The
pilot may make up to four attempts the average time of every successful attempt
being your final time.
7. After
4 unsuccessful attempts you are given a nominal time of 2 minutes.
Touch and goes
1. Timing
starts from the first touch and go.
2. Scoring
starts at 1 point per touch and go from the second.
3. You
must do as many touch and goes in the same direction as the first in 90 seconds.
4. If
you touch but don't go except on the first touch before the time is up this
warrants your final score.
5. If
you touch but don't go on your first touch you are allowed another go.
Free flight parachuting
1. A
single target is set up depending on the wind conditions.
2. Each
pilot drops the parachute The time the parachute is in the air is timed.
3. 1
second is deducted from the time for every 10' the parachute is off target, due
to the large distances involved
this can be paced out by a nominated pacer approximating 1 yard to 1 pace.
4. If
the parachute malfunctions another go is allowed.
5. Before
the competition a test drop is allowed to assess the wind conditions, if
subsequent contestants feel the conditions have
changed a further test drop is allowed.
6. If
the parachute drops beyond the boundary of the racecourse no score is
recorded.
Limbo 2
1.This
limbo is a knock out competition the aperture of the limbo getting smaller and
smaller each round.
2.Each
pilot is allowed three attempts at each round one successful attempt getting him
through to the next round.
3.
The
limbo is set in each round thus:
Each subsequent round tape 1
is moved down one inch.
Spot landing 1
1. Four
attempts at the spot landing the spot being a correx cross are made.
2. Two
attempts must be dead stick the score being the distance from the cross the
plane comes to rest.
3. Two
attempts must be made under power the distance from the cross being measured
from where the wheels first touch.
4. If
the distance exceeds 50' the distance is scored as 50'.
5. On
the powered attempts five approaches may be aborted, further attempts that are
aborted count as a maximum score.
6. On
the dead stick landings the pilot must state when he is cutting the throttle.
Should the engine cut unexpectedly the pilot must state immediately weather he
is going for a spot landing attempt or not. if he decides not to he may have
another go. Once you have stated you are cutting the throttle or stated that you
are making an attempt you are committed to attempting the spot landing.
7. The
four scores are totaled and the smallest score wins.
