FREE FLIGHT DURATION U i i KUISIJ I iK 74NJ LE SOME YEARS BACK involved rather unusual flyoff flying old Huntsville Alabama airport Closed full-sized aircraft used model flying just about everything else time factored golf course garbage dump other encroachments wasnt lot room other words typical free flight site Two us made three two-minute maxes Unlimited Rubber existing drift upping max three minutes two-and-a-half would have meant some lost models So contest director suggested both launch same time whoever highest two minutes would winner enough drift easy tell highest wasnt Id about forgotten about until came across article Ron Pollard British newsletter Free Flight News Tynemouth club proposed experimental contest designed minimize long flights long retrievals landowner complaints other problems go long maxes short fields Heres proposal 1 The CD shall fix max due consideration wind speed drift visibility tei-minate flights close flying site boundary 2 Timekeepers shall observe entire flight possible record following times a from start model seen DT b from start flight termination 3 The winner shall entrant has completed max plus highest DT time Notes a If max reached total flight time will recorded normal way b model seen DT lands flies OOS max will recorded following observations come mind 1 Large light open rubber open power models likely descend slowly DT dont tend climb very high Whereas 2 Smaller higher powered models will climb higher sink faster DT 3 In dead-air conditions open gliders often need DT flights will normal 4 However similar conditions open rubber open power models will want take advantage height gained DT soon after max has reached obtain best score 5 It will still advantage put model lift 6 Timekeepers will have accurate timekeeping duties However should offset reduced concentration time sounds like interesting idea thats worth try especially local contest flying site limited Note rules dont change model specifications whatsoever way thinking makes lot sense progressive maxes category III especially highperformance event like Mulvihill Walts F1J last couple years Ive chatting over phone Walt Rozelle
