Scoring in Combat<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 1. Causing an opponent\u2019s plane to strike the ground and cease flight after a mid-air contact scores a\u00a0<\/span>point. No matter who initiates the engagement, the plane that remains flying after such an event, and<\/span><\/div>\n
demonstrates flight control by performing a verification maneuver, shall gain one point.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 2. Mid-air contact that does not result in a single aircraft striking the ground and ceasing to continue<\/span>\u00a0flight, and in the remaining aircraft being able to demonstrate flight control, will net no score for either\u00a0<\/span>pilot.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 3. Points shall be verified in one of two ways by the victorious pilot of an engagement<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0(A) Execute a single, 360-degree roll and return to fully controlled straight and normal flight, or<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0(B) Execute a single 360-degree loop and return to fully controlled straight and normal flight.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 1. The point verification maneuver must be performed prior to re-engaging in combat with another<\/span>\u00a0aircraft.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 2. If an aircraft crashes as a result of attempting to complete the point verification maneuver, no points\u00a0<\/span>will be awarded for the engagement. The judge for a given aircraft will determine if the verification\u00a0<\/span>maneuver was successfully completed and that straight and normal flight control was demonstrated.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 3. Multiple collisions. If an aircraft collides with multiple aircraft in the pursuit of a single engagement,\u00a0<\/span>points will only be awarded for the last such collision unless a point verification maneuver was\u00a0<\/span>successfully performed prior to each individual collision.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 4. One bonus point will be awarded if a pilot can fly an entire round without the aircraft coming to rest on\u00a0<\/span>the ground.<\/span><\/div>\n

Combat Aircraft specifications<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 1. The maximum allowable wingspan shall be 49 inches.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 2. The maximum allowable flying weight shall be 35 ounces.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0 3. With the exception of control surfaces, covering and structural reinforcements listed below, the aircraft <\/span>must be constructed entirely of expanded bead, plastic foam material.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 4. Wings shall have a plastic foam leading edge at least 1 \u00bd inches wide, measured chord wise, the entire\u00a0<\/span>span of the wing. The wing may be covered with film covering material, vinyl tape, fiber reinforced\u00a0<\/span>vinyl tape or any combination of the three. Wood, metal, solid plastic, carbon fiber, Kevlar or any resin\u00a0<\/span>impregnated fiber material on or in the wing leading edges are not permitted.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 5. Wing spars of any non-metallic material are permitted, provided they do not violate the provisions of\u00a0<\/span>Section 5.4 (more than 1 \u00bd inches away from leading edge at any point along the span). Maximum<\/span>\u00a0total cross sectional area for spars shall not exceed \u00be sq. in. Moveable control surfaces at the wing\u00a0<\/span>trailing edge (ailerons) will not be considered a part of the total spar cross section.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 6. The fuselage of a Conventional Aircraft must have a plastic foam nose section at least 1\u00bd inch in\u00a0<\/span>length. The fuselage may have longerons of any non-metallic material provided their total\u00a0<\/span>cross-sectional area does not exceed \u00bd sq. in. area, and that the longerons do not extend into the\u00a0<\/span>forward 1\u00bd inches of the nose. The fuselage may be covered with film covering material, vinyl tape,\u00a0<\/span>fiber reinforced vinyl tape or any combination of the three.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 7. Any flight control surfaces may be constructed of wood or corrugated plastic\/paper material. Metal,\u00a0<\/span>solid plastic, carbon fiber, Kevlar or any resin impregnated fiber construction or covering material on\u00a0<\/span>the control surfaces is not permitted.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 8. Any ballast added to an aircraft must be imbedded and secured internally within the aircraft structure<\/span>\u00a0and may not be attached externally to the aircraft structure.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 9. No plane shall use any form of thrust power. Engines, electric motors, compressed gas or chemical<\/span>\u00a0propellants are prohibited. Aircraft converted from electric power must have the motor, motor\u00a0<\/span>battery, propeller and any hard surface hatches removed from the aircraft prior to competition.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0 10. There shall be no limitation on the number of controls. The builder-of-the-model rule does not apply\u00a0<\/span>for this event.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
