According to the rules, they barely keep score.  Anything that will do 70 MPH on .018" x 60' lines will be OK.  It was 70 last time I looked.  Maybe it changed.

Among other things, you get a big loss of points for getting in a collision or line tangle.  So you really only need on model.

You don't actually need to win matches.  Just run up points.  Get all the air time, don't collide, and try to get three cuts.

I will send you a pm for a set up.

  Thanks Paul, i just want to see if i can get through a match

Believe it or not, this is really a fun event. You have to switch your thinking to fly for fun and have it scored. Not jump in there and win the match. My bro Andy couldnt grasp this and he scored poorly. I on the other hand I just flew around, tried for some cuts, and avoided collisions. Used one plane and won the event. I thought it was a great event. I think I may go back again this year.

The downside of flying to win is destruction. Andy broke 3 airplanes. The normal pilots flying the event use the same plane for years. (Well until they drew Andy) I used one airplane. That's what the event is designed for. And it actually requires a bit of skill to just get points and not break anything. If your too aggressive and get into a line tangle, or just knock the opponent out of the air yet you stay up.....cost you points. So you don't want to wrap or touch airplanes. Not as easy as it sounds. The worst thing that can happen is your opponent not get started or he hits the ground in the match. That's the toughest thing for me is to not do my "sucker him into the ground" moves. Those are kinda standard in my flying style. I really have to work at not doing them. But the event is great for chasing streamers. And that's all combat has really ever been for me. I feel like a kid playing hide and go seek, sword fight, and combat all at the same time.
