All right boys, lets turn the talk into walk. How about a challenge match between the "mouth" and the "mouth breather", Gordy and Darth?
I will personally pay one night's motel and dinner for each of the protagonists (antagonists?) for the night prior to a match to be held in Amarillo (or some other mutually agreeable site) and furnish two matched 6V motor 12V winches and other necessary gear for a match with the following format: Round I -- Four Flights 1. First launch 15 minutes after official local sunrise. Subsequent flights follow 5 minutes after prior flight landing. (BTW I'll also pay for all the adult beverages either contestant wants the night prior to the match :) ) 2. Task AMA task T3 (Precision Duration) modified to 8 minutes. 3. MOM simultaneous launch immediately on launch signal (DSQ if still on line 10 seconds after launch signal.) 4. Simultaneous landing time (8 minutes after launch signal). Landing timing called out by contest official. 5. Landing task spot landing, 10 foot graduated landing tape, 100 point max. 6. Normalized scoring based on AMA Precision Duration Points -- Landing Points not normalized. 7. Turnaround distance 600 feet. 8. No skegs allowed. Round II - Four Flights 1. First launch 1 hour after last flight of Round I. Subsequent flights 5 minutes immediately after finish of prior landing. 2. Task AMA task T3 (Precision Duration) 10 minutes. 3.

Winch setup will have a 300# land line and a 200# pound air line. Air line will be at least 250 feet long. Pilots will fly out all pop offs and all line breaks. No reflights unless the land line breaks. All lines will be new at the start of the match. 4. The lowest round score will be thrown out for each pilot. 5. High points win. Loser buys dinner for the winner and up to two contest officials. Loser agrees to abide by winners comments on this thread for two years from the date of the contest.If Gordy loses, he will graciously present Darth with one of his infamous "I beat Gordy" pins and will include the phrase "Darth Beat Me" on any comments he posts on this thread for two years. If Darth loses he will include the phrase "Gordy Beat Me" on any comments he posts on this thread for two years. Come on curmudgeons, lets get down and have some FUN :) -- dharban ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dharban's Profile: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/member.php?u=31927 View this thread: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=796852 RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
