Here is a reprint of the Speed Stunt rules;
The following is our guidelines/rules. We want to keep it light and encourage participation. Fly at whatever speed your comfortable with;
The objective is to perform the stunt pattern maneuvers in minimum time, from first entry to completion of the 4 leaf clover. In order to permit nostalgia combat airplanes to fly without oversize fuel tanks, only one full lap between maneuvers is required. The maneuvers are not scored per se; rather the pattern is reviewed by the timer to see that all maneuvers are completed in order.
Model Eligibility Any model designed, sketched, published, constructed or offered for sale in kit form prior to 1980 which could have been used in combat is eligible, the older the better. The use of original survivor aircraft is specifically encouraged. There is no prohibition of foam wings or plastic covering, but the competitors are at liberty to abuse the fakers who ignore the tradition of silk and dope .
-Fight Takeoffs and landings are not judged, hand launch is expressly permitted.
-Hand signal required on prior lap of the reverse wingover.
-Timing starts at entry into the reverse wing over and stops at the last crossing of the intersection of the 4 leaf clover.
- Four inverted laps are required.
- One and a half laps are required after the exit of the hourglass prior to entry into the overhead eight.
- Any or all of the following are permitted: level flight height as high as practical, short lines, or smaller maneuvers; all to minimize flight distance and time.
-An entry not completing all maneuvers shall receive no score, but will be accorded as many attempts as time permits.
Speed Runs
-Any engine that is non-schnuerle ported basically the 36x and g21-35 engines are the cutoff and any vintage combat design prior to 1980.
- No nitro content limitations
- 60' lines center to center meeting current line diameter requirements
- 10' high maximum level flight
