from 3.4.9.
*Timing of Flights*
The flights must be timed by two timekeepers with electronic stopwatches
with digital readout recording at least 1/100 of a second.
From Section 4b. para B.13., only B.13.1., B.13.2., and B.13.6. apply to
class F1D.
The timing of each flight shall commence when the model is released. Timing
will terminate when:
a) the model touches the floor of the building.
b) jettisoning occurs.
c) the model comes into contact with any part of the building or its
contents other than the floor and translational movement ceases.
*
*
*Note: *In this case, the timekeepers shall continue to time for ten
seconds after translational movement has ceased. Should the model remain in
contact with the building or its contents after 10 seconds, timing will
cease and the 10 seconds will be subtracted from the flight time. Should
the model release itself from contact with the building in less than 10
seconds, timing will continue normally.
I think this means that regardless of model weight if it jettisons anything
the time stops.
The only way a re-flight would be allowed is if the time stopped in less
than 60 seconds from the start of the flight.
Hope that helps,
