Title: Aerobatic Contest
Post by: earl1937 on August 27, 2012, 03:28:17 PM
 :airplane: I need at least 2, 3 would be great, Rooks to assist me in a Aerobatic contest to be held Sept 20th, 9:00PM, EST in the main late war arena. The contest will be held at a rear field, to avoid interference from opposing country's in the main late war arena.

If you agree to help me, it will be as a judge. I would like experienced pilots or AH members who fly radio control aircraft.

The 3 maneuvers to be judged are: a slooooow roll, executed along a large field runway, a "Cuban 8" and a loop. In the event of ties, the "fly off" will consist of a "tail spin" of at least 4 turns, with aircraft recovering on same heading as entry to maneuver.
The boundaries of the maneuvers will be with in the confines of the longest runway at a large field, with the "floor" at 500 feet AGL.
Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
You may contact me at townsendejt@comcast.net or send private message on AH bulletin board message system.

I think it's best to do this in the TA or a custom arena.

We used to do this weekly in the training arena in Dawn of Aces. It was a lot of fun. Occasionally we would have required maneuvers but usually everyone just flew their own figures. We had 2 classes of solo and also a team, generally 2 people, which usually flew a demo for lack of competition.

cool idea earl. FYI - If you fly do this in the training arena, you can enable smoke with the 'R' key, IIRC.

Great idea, ET. Out of my skill level for both flying and judging, but post up a
reminder a day or two before the event. I'd love to watch it. <S>

Best regards, Odd

:airplane:  I appreciate the suggestion, but I feel as tho I would  get more squad entrants, if they did not have to log out and into another arena. Besides, if I don't get enough squad members, (12, out of 52), I plan on opening it up to any Rook squad. I just think it would be fun and something "different" than just the everyday base taking and "furballing". I intend to extent an invitation to "skuzzy", Hi Tech and any other AH staff member to enter if they like. I think it would be "cool" to judge them for once!

you're sure to get lots of takers when you exclude 2/3'rds of the players by saying "any rook squad".  :aok


also, there are/were/have been so many of these things already.. do you participate in SASFRAS or the AHXARL ?
