Idea from the North West
I saw this and though a small few of you might be interested in the idea.... Rusty started this with posting about a balloon bust set of rules
Wido-Satan Combat
Flying
Well, the Wido Satan is no sonic chicken, but it does fly well as long as the CG is 1 inch back from the leading edge. Tank capacity is a problem because they just don't run for too long. Because of this, the best minds of our times have conspired to write the event rules for WIDO-SATAN COMBAT!
A wido set of rules
So here ya go -- just the thing for a wido combat ...
Rules:
(mostly designed by Gene Pape)
Equipment:
Aircraft: Lil' Satan or similar airplane from equivalent era
Engine: Cox Reed Valve .049 (must use integral fuel tank)
Lines: .012 braided steel lines (or equivalent) 35 feet plus or minus 3 inches.
Match:
Starting time: 30 seconds
Match length: 1 minute from launch
Streamers: Streamer length is 60 inches, width is 1/2 inch.
The string leader shall be 4- to 8-pound-test cotton, shall be marked with ink 48 and 72 inches from the knot, and shall extend beyond the ink mark 12 inches. Experts flying against newbies must tie their streamers at the 72" mark. If both pilots are experts, both use the 48-inch mark. If both are newbies, both use the 72-inch mark.
Combat procedure:
After a starting period, both planes launch simultaneously and combat starts immediately. If you can't go at the signal, you lose. If you come down for any reason before the length of the match, you lose. In the case of a mid-air collision or line tangle that brings down both planes, you both lose. One point will be awarded per cut, a kill wins the match if the competitor scoring the kill is able to complete the flight period. No airtime points. "Experts" fly with longer streamers when flying newbies.
In the event of a tie score, a coin toss will decide the outcome.
