| Class 1: Climb &
Glide - 20 second climb timed from when the wheels leave the ground, cut your engine and
your glide is
timed until your wheels touch down again, 10% bonus for a landing on the strip.
Triple Thrash - Timer starts when the wheels leave the ground, do 3 touch & goes on
the strip, 3 rolls and 3
symmetrical loops ending with a touch and go, timer stops at the touch down. The model
must
complete a circuit after the touch and go.
Touch & Goes -Timer starts when the wheels leave the ground, you have 2 minutes to do
as many touch & goes
as you can on the strip. If your engine stops you can re-start it.
Limbo - take off and complete one pass, timer starts when you next pass the string; you
now have 2 minutes to
fly under the string as many times as you can without touching the ground. If you cut the
string
your time is up. The limbo gate is approximately 6ft high and 15-20ft wide.
Class 2: Climb & Glide - as above
Loops - take off and call when you are ready, you have 2 minutes to complete as many loops
as you can.
Spot Landing - you have one minute to fly around and land in a predetermined 3 foot
square.
