These rules were adapted from the combat rules found on the DAW site, so I knew there would be some holes and questions, in regard to slope racing and the new classes Robert has some valid points and they are in need of review by all In section 3.1.3 Spar total cross section of 3/4 sq in was developed originally for the 48 inch foamies and may need to be increased for the 60 inch foamies. What this means is, if you cut the spar(s) cord wise, you would get no more than 3/4 sq inch of spar cross sectioned when all spars are added together. So if you have one spar that is made from 1/2" x 1/2" you would have 1/4 sq inch of spar cross section. Two of these spar would yield 1/2 sq in and so on. What is reasonable for the 60 inch class? Is this rule still valid for 48 inch class? In section 3.1.4 This wording was for control surfaces. Should this be extended to include all tail feathers and winglets. In section 3.1.5 The cross sectional area applies to the total of all longerons in the fuse. This total cross sectional area does not apply to wing or tail mounts so long as they are considered longerons. Again, do we need to increase this for the 60 inch class? Conventional Unlimited Class "These rules include the FAI maximum weight of 11.023 Pounds or Max wing loading of 24.57 oz/sqft for total projected area. Correct?" Are there FAI rules for 60 inch and unlimited class slope racing? Where can I find them? I believe they should apply, don't you? Jerry R.
