Don't forget this Sunday will be the DARTS Electric Fly-IN v2.0 at the Twin Towers Park. Fun fly as usual...but also we WILL have Limited Motor Run man-on-man competition.
Primary class will be 7-cell speed 400 class as flown at the AMA E-NATs. However, to encourage participation, I will also allow pilots to run-what-they-brung if they don't have speed 400 class airplanes. I will have any non-speed 400 planes demonstrate a maximum performance climb which I will time and see how long it takes to get to about the same altitude as a speed 400 class model. I will have available a tiny altitude transponder about the size of a receiver that can be rubber banded to the plane to confirm altitude. I will then have a time countdown to launch for each round and adjust launch sequence so all planes end up at about the same altitude at the end of the engine run time. As the rounds go by, I will adjust the launch time handicap as indicated by any gross differences in the climb. This should be a LOT of fun! Winner will be awarded a laurel and hardy handshake! . Pilot's meeting at 10:00 am. See you all then!" Paul Siegel DARTS Website is www.daytonsoaring.org RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
