AMA/FAI Contest and Funfly
March 7-9 2008
Can-Am Flyers hosting (http://www.can-amflyers.com/index.html)
Again, this will be a multi-discipline event. Two, back to back flightlines will be operated. The FAI contest will be conducted on the north flightline, and the 3D/Sport funfly will be held on the South flightline. We may possibly have another, separate area for Scale flyers, as well.
Landing fee for the funfly is only $15, and for the FAI contest is $25. This includes the entire weekend.
Camping on field is permitted starting Friday. Flying will be started on Friday for the funfly line. The Contest starts 0900 Saturday morning, with practice flying starting friday morning.
Pilot's meeting will be Saturday 0830.
Radio impound will be strictly enforced. Due to the unique nature of two flightlines, and to ensure the steady flow of the contest, we will be requesting contest frequencies in advance of the contestant's flight slot. Based on how it worked last year (no real issues), we will not be requiring specific frequencies for either line. However, we do ask that you work with us regarding conflicts between contest and fun fly frequencies. On that note, Spread Spectrum is highly encouraged. SS radios will not be impounded, and all current systems are welcome.
I'm looking into having saturday lunch catered by Sonny's BBQ.
Local hotel info to come. I will most likely block off some rooms at the Comfort Inn at the Hwy54/I-75 Interchange.
Contest info can be found below:
AMA classes 1,2,3 (http://www.modelaircraft.org/events/rulebooks/RC%20Helicopter.pdf) and FAI F3C Schedules A & C (ftp://www.fai.org/sporting_code/sc4/sc4.f3c.07.Rev1.zip)
Also soliciting for experienced judges, please PM if interested. IMAC & Pattern judges welcome, will train.
More to come.
