Aircraft Specifications: Aircraft must be a stock Thunder Tiger Tiger .40 size ARF Tiger Stick powered by a stock Thunder Tiger PRO .46 engine with a stock muffler. Two or Three wheel gear OK. All Accessories (mount, hardware, etc) can be upgraded. Only 1 servo per function allowed. No mixing.
General Event Rules: A-Class will consist of the more experienced flyers (you know who you are) and will fly events from the A list. B-Class will consist of less experienced flyers and will fly events from the B list. These are less difficult events with a luck factor incorporated into some of the events that will help even the field. B-Class is intended as a learning ground to help you increase your skills and raise your confidence in your abilities. There is no mandatory move from B to A Class. You may continue in B-Class until you feel comfortable moving up. Do be aware that B-Class is intended as a training ground for newer flyers.
Unless otherwise specified in the individual event rules all take-offs, touch and goes, bomb drops and landings will be in a 50' circle going in the same direction with at least 360 degree turn between touches. Time will start when the throttle is advanced and will stop when the wheels are in the circle unless individual event rules state otherwise. it's OK to land short and roll into the circle but the time will not stop until the aircraft is in the circle under it's own power. It's OK to touch in the circle and roll out unless otherwise noted. Missed figure 8 touch and goes and limbo passes must fly a 360 degree pattern and try again in the missed direction. In events that require stopping in the circle, the aircraft may taxi back into the circle from any direction as long as the approach direction was correct. Aircraft must be flyable with no more than a prop change at the conclusion of the flight for the score to count.
4 or 5 events will be selected from the list (depending on the number of contestants). All events will be run twice and the best time used to score. The event winner will receive 1 point; second place 2 points; etc. All events are then totaled with low score winning. Any ties in the top 3 will be flown off.
