Start around 9ish with scanner racing followed by assassin racing/pylon followed by F3 style 6 minutes flight, landing close to the mark. Could have pylon racing with what ever plane you have or prepared to sacrifice/3 laps. Think of things that would entertain. .................................... Yeah Greg....good plan ...will dig my old Assasin out...give it a bit of TLC....will be ready to race... Also be good to get these gliders ready to get easy access to the ESC to plug the altim eters in ...perhaps if people are interested in the limited altitude type comp... they could bring their Gliders along this coming Club Day .. we could take a look and discuss how we are going to move forward not only with the altimeters but other types of gliding comps as well.
All sounds good to me...
Looks like the BIXLER gliding competitions are going to be a success..... 3 days of gliding and fun so far.....8 Bixlers purchased recently ..... also the 2metre gliders are shaping up for some good future competition......the Scanner competitions are still running....although i believe any similar plane with a .46 motor is now allowed to compete....so not strictly Scanner......
What did the competitor's think about the scoring system?
The scoring system is being reviewed with input from all participants...
The emphasis in on Fun.... Fun... n
More FUN...
More info on our WAM Facebook page..
hopefully i can get off the ground this time
BIXLER COMP.........Working on the scoring system ......and have updated the launching and landing format after our conversation at the field on Thursday..... 30 second countdown to takeoff... 1 minute up until Motors off..... no altimeters required.... go as high as you like in that 1 minute or even head off and find a thermal if you're lucky...... after motors are turned off there will be 5 minutes flying time until landing..... the 1 minute of MOTORISED flight will give people with slower planes a chance to better position themselves higher in preparation for the 5 minute free flight to the finish.... this will save the last minute rush trying to install the height limiters.... we only have 5 altimeters and it seemed a bit confusing ....some trying to use telemetry,....others not using anything,...some of the altimeters on the wrong height settings... and other limiters seemed a bit dodgy with the connections. Hopefully this system will work ....and we can use the altimeters when we are a bit more organised and also for the larger gliders.
Thanks Ken...
That will make it easier for various models to enjoy the Fun..
A good day today, we beat the weather...
Yeah lookin good for the gliding comps....plenty of keen people working on scoring ect....
