Dedicated to the Promotion of Electric Propulsion in all types of Aeromodeling

Jim’s Bomb Drop Event for July Mtg.

 

The bomb drop device, and bombs will be provided, all you need to bring is your own airplane of choice.  Each pilot gets 5 minutes to drop three bombs onto the marked field target.  The pilot may stand where they prefer.  Scoring and points value will be explained at the beginning of the event.

The bomb drop devices are easy to attach to many different aircraft types, and there are several device mounting styles to select from.
In most cases it is held on with rubber bands,  and when bands wont work, tape does.  There is even a velcro mount if you want to stick a section of Velcro on your plane.  The device, with a loaded bomb, adds 12 grams to your airplane. Only the smallest of park fliers will even notice it attached.  It has been tested with airplanes down to stock slow stick’s without any issue.

Dropping the bomb is accomplished via a few different maneuvers. You can loop, roll, dive, or any other way you prefer to get the nut off 
the rod over the target, but its where it stops rolling that counts.
