Ray,
I propose that this event be flown as a two minute max event. No fly offs,
no tie breakers. If an contestant wants to get full credit for his/her
efforts they may but the times are scored as an official in LPP.
The purpose of this proposal is the remove the incentive of "Experts" from
flooding the event and making it unappealing to a true beginner. If you can
get one of these things to fly for two minutes three times in one day you
are probably ready to tackle a true LPP and then... By the time a beginner
has gotten enough experience to "Max Out" a P-18 he or she has set the
Indoor FF hook pretty deep.
The rules, as written, produce an airplane that make two minutes a nominal
goal. I kike seeing these models fly as they are very "indoor like" and
I've seen their appeal to the public. I just don't want to see these things
doing 5 minutes. Sure irt can probably be done but that is not the point of
the event.
Thoughts?
