Gettin tired of same heading. Anybody got any info on SNIPER?? I have one framed up from an old plan. It is for a Fox .15.BB Schneurle, Foam wings, I cut. Still need finish and carrier controls. Curious how critical the design paramenters are on this as far as the rules go??
If it has a .15 engine, if it uses no moveable controls except elevator and throttle, if you can fly it on .52 foot lines, it's legal anywhere. Rules for .15 Carrier are local rules, although NCS keeps a copy of the original Denver rules, there are no "official" rules. But most everyone follows the Denver rules which are:
Rules are AMA Profile Carrier rules, except:
1. .15 max displacement
2. Elevator, throttle and deployable tail hook are the only
allowed moveable controls
3. No scale points awarded. No minimum wing area.
4. Lines are 52' - 52'6", .012 braided or .010 solid
5. Timing is for 8 laps (equal 1/2 mile)
6. High speed over 70 mph will be credited as 70 mph
(ie: there is a 70 mph speed limit for scoring purposes.
No penalty for exceeding 70, but no credit either)
That's pretty much it.
