• Targets will consist of 5 balloons (no replacements) supported on 1/4 inch square balsa sticks placed at equal intervals around the flight circle – helium inflation is optional
• No tower or other obstruction is used
• Points are awarded for broken balloons only. Cutting the balloon free from the supporting stick without breaking the balloon does not score any points
• Balloon must be broken by aircraft impact – ground pops do not count
• Fliers have three minutes to break as many balloons as possible. Aircraft can be re-fueled and re-launched within the 3-minute window.
• Timing stops when 5th balloon is busted. Pilot can terminate flight before the 3-minute time limit and without breaking all 5 balloons at his/her discretion
• 20 Points awarded for each balloon busted within 3 minute time limit
• 25-point bonus for cutting balloon free on first pass and then breaking it on the next pass (Pilot must remain in pilot’s circle – no chasing! - helium balloons only)
• In the event of a tie, a fly-off will be used to break the tie
• Elapsed time for breaking all balloons (in seconds) subtracted from balloon points equals final score

• Any size plane allowed
• Club designates number of laps (100 lap maximum)
• One point awarded for each lap up to designated lap number
• One point deducted for each lap over designated lap number
• Pit stops allowed but not required
• Runs can only be terminated by running out of fuel (no dorking, no speed controls)
• Pilot can terminate run at any point within above rules without completing 100 laps
• (Ex: A pilot can complete any number of laps with or without a pit stop if he thinks his points total will be the highest score)
• In the event of a tie, a fly-off will be required to break the tie

• Four upright pvc pipes, each with a three foot section painted with caution orange, will be located around the flight circle
• The poles will be placed outside the 60 foot flying circle
• The orange section on each pole will be at a different height
• A 1/4 inch breakable balsa stick will mark the upper and lower boundries of the orange area and will extend toward the center of the circle.
• The sticks are a visual reference for the scorer at each pole to make sure the plane flies at the correct level (between the sticks)
• Each pilot is allowed two minutes to pass through as many gates as possible by flying between the balsa sticks marking the orange section of the pipe.
• Gate points set at contest by CD
• Hitting and breaking a stick eliminates that gate from the rest of the flight and will not longer score any points
• The challenge is the ability to precisely control your airplane in level flight - NO LOOPS

• Awards: Two sets of awards will be presented - one set for top speed and one set for closest to average speed
  
• Event Purpose: This is a FUN event intended to encourage craftsmanship in the construction of, and airmanship in the piloting of the aircraft entered in this event. The skill requirements to participate are minimal and the intention is to increase each participant’s skill as the season progresses
  
• Aircraft Type: Aircraft participating in this event must be representations of actual race planes (Goodyear, Formula 1, Thompson, Golden Age, etc.). Planes built from the Sig Buster or Shoestring kits or built to plans from those kits or provided by the organizers require no documentation. Planes built from other sources require documentation proving that the airplane is a model of an actual racer. The judge/ CD Must be able to recognize that the model looks like the full size airplane. A picture or a three-view would suffice for documentation
  
• Construction: Solid fuselage. Enclosed bellcrank allowed – wing must be all wood – not fabric , tissue, or shrink plastic covered. Cheek cowls, prototype paint schemes, and other scale enhancements are encouraged but not required
  
• Landing Gear: Two wheels 1 ˝ to 2 inches diameter required - no restriction on position
  
• Engine: Stock Fox.15 plain bearing engine. No XXX versions
  
• Wing Span: Between 24 - 29 inches (Tip to tip)
  
• Fuselage Length: Between 25 – 27 inches (Spinner to tail)
  
• Wing Area: 140 square inches minimum
  
• Fuel: Maximum 10% Nitro content
  
• Fuel Tank: No size restriction, but remenber that runs over 3 minutes are disqualified!
• Propeller: No restriction
  
• Lines:Handle to aircraft midline 52.5 feet +/- 6 inches, any diameter
  
• Speed Runs: 16 laps from a running start. Pilot signals start of run. Two timers will time each run with the time/speed being the average of the two. Two attempts per plane per meet, on a rotating basis. Maximum run time is 3 minutes starting from initial release of aircraft. Runs over 3 minutes are disallowed. Lowest time / fastest speed wins
• Safety: Safety glasses are mandatory for all personnel starting engines and launching aircraft. Ear protection is optional but encouraged. The Contest Director may disqualify any contestant or aircraft representing a hazard to themselves or others
  
• Dispute Resolution: The Contest Director is the final judge for any and all disputes
  

• Event Purpose: This is a FUN event intended to provide a venue for racing small displacement engines
  
• Aircraft Type:Any
  
• Construction:Any
  
• Landing Gear:Optional
  
• Engine:STOCK Cox reed valve engines or OK Cub engines ONLY
• Wing Span:Any
  
• Fuselage Length:Any

• Race procedure: 2 to 3 flyers per race depending on number of entries. Heats consist of 50 laps with 1 required pit stop. Final consists of 100 laps with 2 required pitstops. First plane to complete the required laps and pit stops wins
  
• Speed Run procedure: Pilot signals start of 16 lap timed run from flying start
  
• Altitude: Aircraft will maintain a 12-15 foot altitude except for passing. Aircraft will return to 12-15 foot altitude immediately after pass. One warning will be given, DQ with second infraction
• Flying Technique: No whipping or back stepping except briefly for aircraft control
• Safety: Safety glasses are mandatory for all personnel starting engines and launching aircraft. Ear protection is optional but encouraged. The Contest Director may disqualify any contestant or aircraft representing a hazard to themselves or others
