Hi All-- OK--I give in! I have been accused of keeping this info secret to give the THSS contingent at the Poway CSR today an unfair advantage, but that is not true--especially since I haven't told most of them what the rules are either! I'm innocent, I tell you! Here they are in a nutshell: I lieu of having a real bomber to fly, I think we should allow any plane with a wingspan greater than 60" to be the "bomber". It should, however, be an EPP plane that can withstand a hit or two. A plane such as a Highlander, TG-3 or something similar would work well. The remainder of the "squadron" would consist of three pilots flying 48" EPP interceptor/fighter planes and a score keeper. The bomber would fly an evasive pattern (no offensive maneuvers allowed) traversing the slope from pylon to pylon while being protected by the fighters that also have the opportunity to attack the opposing bomber. Scoring would be as follows: Hit opposing bomber: 1 point Downing bomber: 5 points Downing fighter: 1 point Round will last 10 minutes (less if time constraints arise). Relaunches are allowed. Two squadrons will fly at a time; three squadrons could fly if necessary. No gifts, awards or trophies will be awarded. We just wanna have some fun! Thanks to Jerry Craft for allowing us to add this event to his well run CSR! See you all in a few hours. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
