Contest Rules Intermediate
- Timed nose in hover
Task:
The pilot will be timed for what they think is a 60 second hover with the nose of the helicopter pointing towards the pilot. The helicopter must be kept at a nose in attitude from take-of to landing.
Object:
Once the pilot is ready, he will lift the helicopter off in a hover, at this point the timer will start a stop watch. The pilot then in his own mind hovers till they thinks they have reached 60 seconds, at which they will then set the helicopter back down on its skids. (No watches or transmitter clocks can be used). At this point the timer will stop the watch. If for any reason the helicopter skids touch the ground, that will stop the watch which ends their attempt.
Scoring:
The difference between (either over or under) to 60 seconds will be your score. The pilot will try to get the lowest time they will get.
- Timed nose in pad hop
Task:
The pilot will touch each pad with there skids in the order of there choice.
Object:
Time begins when the skids of the helicopter lifts off from the starting pad with the nose to the pilot, and ends after touching all 6 pads nose in and returning to the staring pad. Skids must be fully on the pad. This will complete your time for the first attempt. Without shutting helicopter down, the timer will have you do a second attempt; the goal is being as close to the time of your first attempt.
Scoring:
Your score will be the difference between the two attempts. This score will be added to you 60 second hover attempt.
The scores will be added together and the pilot with the lowest score will win. There will be places for up to 3rd place.
