This will be calculated at the beginning of the match by timing the aircraft for two laps while pulling a full streamer.
the time shall not be less than 7.3 seconds (6.85 seconds W/O Streamer) for two laps.
If model is too fast it must be grounded and repaired to not exceed speed limit.
No airtime will be acquired until model does not exceed the speed limit.
Venturi must be fixed. No adjusting throttles in air.

Pilots must start their own engines, or pilot must stay outside flying circle until their engine is started by the pit crew.
Electric starters are allowed/encouraged.

- Midair does not end the match. (No second watch)
Matching:
Double elimination
Random selection with an effort to keep pilots from the same area separated and to avoid rematches until later rounds
A separate Second Chance Round will be flown by the first four (?) pilots that go out depending on the number of pilots entered.
