- To
qualify as "Vintage" the model must have been available as a kit
or a plan published prior to 1.Jan.1951
- The
model may not have any major alterations made to the original and must be rudder-elevator only unless the
original specified other moving surfaces.
- The
model may be powered by an IC engine or electric motor.
- The
model may be scaled up or down in size from the original.
- The
event we fly in our club is "Vintage Precision” Once the model leaves
the hand or ground a maximum 60 second motor run is allowed followed by a
glide to try to achieve a total of 180 seconds (3 minutes) 1 point
per second aloft is scored giving a maximum flight points of 180. In addition
a 20 point bonus is achieved if the model comes to rest within a 15
meter radius of the landing spot. So a perfect time and landing score is
200 points.
- 3
rounds are usually flown, last year no one scored a perfect 600 point
event.
