The F3F class slope race is a
FAI sanctioned race based on speed timing for r/c slope gliders. Please
see the F3F Rules. The
flying task of F3F is to fly 1000 meters on a closed speed course of 100 meters
in the shortest possible time. Here is the detailed
information for the race:
* we will meet in the car park in the BBQ ground at 9:00am. It takes about 30 minutes to walk up to the flying site along a relatively easy mountain trail. The final venue for holding the race may be changed if the wind direction is not in favor. Also if the wind speed is less than scale 2, we would choose to hold the handlaunch glider contest instead (please see Hand/Discus Launch Glider Thermal Duration Contest for details) Please check out the final announce the night before.
