Tiny Gliders Postal
Contest 2004
-
Welcome to the
Second Annual Tiny Gliders Postal Contest
-
Contest
Closing Extended to July 31
-
Because of low entry Numbers I have extended the
closing
-
Get your entries in
!!!!!!!
This contest is for 6" and 8" Free Flight Hand
Launch
(HLG) and Catapult Launched (CLG) Gliders.
Rules
-
- Only limitations on models are wingspans
of
8" or 6".
This allows lots of scope for design variations.
- Each entry consists of Five consecutive flights. The highest and lowest flight
times of the five are discarded and the total of the
intermediate three flight
times counted. No maximum individual flight time.
- A contestant may make multiple entries. A change
this year is that only the highest flight from an individual counts.
In
other words, if your new times exceed your previous scores they will
count. If they do not, your previous best score counts. This will give
you the opportunity for one entry only to count ie. your best score!
- Launches must be made on relatively flat ground
--- no slope soaring launches!!
- Launches must be made from ground level ---
no launching from elevated platforms such as Fire Towers, Shopping Mall
levels or balloon assisted launches. Please abide by the spirit
of the rules and refrain from rule bending.
