(JAR) Just another racing event ? Sure, why not? BUT...not another event, it's a different event.
The object being: "To build (easily built) profile .35 size former Bendix / Schneider Cup typer of scale racers with which to fly in the same circle with others."
This copied from the " Central Alberta Dizzy Flyers " facebook web page.
Alright folks, introducing something completely different for next summer. Fun scale racing!
The Dizzy Flyers are building fun scale golden age racers for some fun racing action next summer. The rules are simple, use a stock Fox .35, a 10X6 propeller, and the lines are 60'
X (unspecified Dia.) from center of handle to center of airplane. The airplane must be a profile, fun scale representation of a golden age (1920-1930's) racing airplane.
We have scaled our airplanes to a 6" chord so we can use a single 1/2'X6' piece of balsa for the wing and another for the fuselages. By using this method, the span comes out to around 28-32". The small photo / drawing is blown up using an overhead projector on plain paper until the wing chord comes out right. Up to three airplanes racing in the circle at a time, and it will be the first to finish a certain number of laps. We just haven't worked out how many laps yet😄 ( Note: to date no more than 2 models have gone up at once yet...)
