Where are the rules for the A-6 event located?
I do not see them as part of the official AMA rules, so I assume they are
some sort of unofficial event?
My search of net did not turn them up anywhere!
Perhaps they are tucked away somewhere that I have not found?
Can someone point me to them, please
For that matter, where are the rules for mini-stick?
Perhaps these too are in that same place that is eluding me?
Thanks

Subject: [Indoor_Construction] Help requested by beginning A6 fliers
My son and I fly with the DC Maxecuters. We built an A6 Eenvoudige Zes
and have flown it at our contests at the National Building Museum in
Washington D.C., Cole Field House at the University of Maryland, and under a 47
foot ceiling at a community college.
We are getting flights in the 5 minute and 30 second range. We are using
.048 rubber, about a 12 inch loop, carrying 2500 winds.
We wondered what we should look at next to try to get to the seven minute
mark. Our props are oval, and we have them centered on the spar. We have
been set at 45 degrees. Would going to 60 degrees get us more efficiency and
longer times?
Any help would be appreciated. We dream of the 10 minute flight.
