SAN DIEGO MID-WINTER ELECTRICS 2005
Contest Rules

1. Rules for S400 Electroglide

Any voltage, 7.2, 6, or 4.8 of the common Speed 400 Mabuchi type, may be used, geared or not. Only Nicads or NiMH batteries may be used. The contest consists of three mass launches with a five-minute period between the landing of the last contestant and the next launch. Motor run will be 45 seconds. No interlaunch battery charging will be allowed. Scoring will be 6 points per minute (one point per 10 seconds, rounded up). Bonus points for accurate, full-stop landings are to be assessed from the nose of the aircraft -- 10, 20, or 30 points per flight. Landings off field, flights longer than 10 minutes, or the use of additional motor run time will result in no points for that launch. Click here for the score sheet sample.
