CONTROL LINE SLOW COMBAT FOR EVENT 329.
1. General. Applicability, equipment, purpose, rules, procedures, and judging are the same as CL Combat, except as specified below.
2. Aircraft Specifications.
a. Any aircraft configuration is allowed.
b. Engines will have a maximum displacement of .40 c.i.
c. Any fuel system is allowed.
d. Carburetors must be fixed. Changing “throttle” while airborne, any form, is not allowed.
3. Procedure. A kill (i.e. cutting the string leader so that no portion of the streamer remains) does not end the match. Either or both competitors may score a kill in the same match. Not more than one (1) kill may be scored by one (1) competitor in a match. Once both strings have been cut, at a signal from the judge, both fliers must fly level and counterclockwise. The fliers shall fly level and counterclockwise in such a manner as to avoid midair collisions, near misses, etc. 4. Scoring. A kill counts 100 points.
4. Models will be timed at the first of the match. They may not run less than 7.3 seconds in two laps pulling a full streamer. If an airplane exceeds this mark it must be grounded and repaired to meet this specification before starting the combat match. An aircraft maintaining the 7.3 seconds in two laps will continue receiving his airtime while his opponent is down repairing his aircraft.
5. Fuel shutoffs are not required, but may be used at pilots discretion.
It's been years since the Gluedobbers have hosted an honest-to-goodness Combat event... so come on out and let's give it a shot! Hope to see you there!
