I really really really hope we get one of those stunning days, crisp, totally still, lovely blue sky with some high haze and a few streaks of light cloud high up. Gonna plan to be out the house for 7 this time, though if the weather is shiet I might have another few hours lie in :)

Just to add to the entertainment...

If anyone gets to Christmas Common (10km) and back on 5.8 video (600mw or less, no yagi antenna's, no dishes) I will run a lap of the field in a pink Mankini

:)

You should dust off that mankini mate & be worried - that's all I'm saying ;)

Cant wait!

Is there going to be a fixed landing point/marker? :)

[Flyboysee]

Dave always hits something/someone whether we are racing or not :D

Here's my proposed route, it's pretty simple just a little circuit where we use the edge of the main field as markers and a few trees/bushes as markers to go between.



Comments/changes/etc welcome

Looks perfect. How many laps then?

As regards rules, I would suggest that if there is a mid air then anyone involved must land immediately and go through all their usual preflight checks before continuing. Not for safety really .. just to discourage the more suicidal racers  :laugh:

I would also suggest that to qualify for a medal you will need to record your race flight. That may however be a problem if you dont have recording equipment but maybe that can be solved.

That's pretty much the course I flew, except using the end corner of the field as the last marker.

As to stop and start I dunno - Maybe launch to a stop at your feet or just in front of you which will mean accuracy in landing as well. Doing a flying start might be contested because you may not see your start line from the air easily.

Why not make the cricket strip the takeoff and landing .. must land on the strip (i.e. runway)
