RULES FOR NORTHWEST VINTAGE COMBAT
(2024 Provisional)

The intent of this event is is to have a Vintage Combat event that is easy to compete in and can be flown in conjunction with other competition events without requiring a large amount of time or effort on the part of the contest management.

Airplanes

  1. All models must have been designed and available in or before 1965. The entrant may be required to provide documentation if the model is not well-known.
  2. Models must conform to the outline of the original but need not exactly match original construction techniques. Styrofoam will not be allowed for construction.

Flying Competition

  1. Rules for AMA Fast Combat will be used except as noted below.
  2. Shutoffs are encouraged but not required.
  3. Streamers strings shall be 2 feet longer than the standard string length.
  4. A 75 mph speed limit (6.9 seconds for two laps) will be strictly enforced. The first model up will be timed to determine compliance. Assuming the first model up complies with the speed limit, the second model up need only be timed if it appears to be faster than the model already timed. Speeds in excess of 75 mph will result in a loss.
  5. Competitions may be flown with a single round or multiple rounds at the discretion of the event director.
