Contest Format
Traditional F3K and e-F3K planes (1.5-meter wingspan, aka F5K) are welcome. Fly together, score together.
15 rounds - 10 rounds Saturday and 5 rounds Sunday in 2 flight groups.
NOTE: e-F3K planes will be fully integrated into the contest and will fly the same tasks as F3K planes.
e-F3K planes must set their AMRT's for a 50m launch cut-off and 7 second motor run. To perform a turnaround, e-F3K pilots may either catch or land their planes. 1S or 2S Lipo only.
Classes
OPEN - we all fly in the same class.
Scoring
The contest will be run using the F3xVault, and all scores will be visible to everyone after the official contest start. We will use paper tickets to document flight times and record using smartphones. Every round will be audited before scores are uploaded.
Start/End Times
Pilots meeting 8 am both days - first flight soon after. We aim to have the contest completed no later than 2:30 pm on Sunday.
Awards
There will be awards of recognition for 1st through 3rd place.
