F5J Competition

Saturday, December 6th, 9:00AM Pilot's Meeting

We will fly at least three rounds of F5J electric launch. All flying after the Electric Contest will be Fun Fly and fly what ya brung...

TYPE OF CONTEST:

Limited Motor Run then 8-10 minute duration with a maximum 25 point
landing bonus within a 100" circle. You may charge batteries between rounds if needed.

CLASS AND MOTOR RUN TIMES:

Traditional Speed 400 CAN motor - with 7 cell ni-xx or 2 cell lipo
will get a 45 second run time.

7 cell any motor – with 7 cell nixx or 2 cell lipo will get a 20 second run time.

Unlimited – any motor and battery pack having a maximum of 20 nixx
cells or a lipo pack greater than 2 cells will get a 15 second run time.

The intent of the above run times is to equalize the launch height to ensure this is a soaring contest, rather than speed to altitude.  These run times may be adjusted at the field in the case of very high performance models.

SCORING

One point per second up to duration time and subtract one point per second over duration time. Scores normalized to 1000 points. Landing points will be added to the normalized score. A minimum of 3 rounds and a maximum of 5 rounds will be flown.

Thanks!
