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 nostagia 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, handlaunch is expressly permitted. 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 from the overhead eight prior to entry into the 4 leaf clover. Any or all of the following are permitted: level flight height as high as practical, short lines, or smaller maneuvers; all to minmize flight distance and time. An entry not completing all manuevers shall receive no score, but will be accorded as many attempts as time permits.
We will also come up with some special surprise awards.
Thanks,
Tom
