---------------------

Here is an except, but is it outdated.



1. CLASSES



1.1 250 spec class

motor >> 1804,1806,2204 -- 2300kv (handicap added for higher kV) .

battery >> 3s

props >> gemfan 5x3 or HQprop 5x4 (CF or GF comp)

frame >> any size

weight >> any



1.2 Open class

everything else

such as 6 motors, 2208, 4s setups, 6" blades.

-------------------------------------------------------------



2. FREQUENCIES



Choose an unassigned Frequency for the season before your first event. Pick a channel with at least 40mhz on either side. Please have your frequency changed before you get there as not to interrupt our schedule. Even if only one person doesn't use the correctly chosen frequency, it can take up to an hour to sort it out. If you have a 32 channel vRx & vtx , try to avoid the fatshark F (8 channel dominator bands which are the most popular). You can use a ground station relay channels as long as it doesn't interfere with other racers.



2.1 Limitations



> Video transmitters up to 400mW.

> Diversity receiver encouraged.

> 32 channel vRx & vtx suggested

3. TYPES OF RACING



3.1 Styles



We run 2 style of races at each event.



The first is Rotorcross that has many obstacles (duck unders, flyovers, thread the needles) and turn types (hairpins, slaloms, sweepers). The courses are designed for individual timing, but we allow everyone to practice at the same time as the courses are large and complex. Each racer get 2 runs.



Next is the Blade-to-Blade style course where multiple racers are competing wheel to wheel (or blade-to-blade as we say in the multirotor world). The courses are simpler and allow for easier passing, but still have their fair share of obstacles.



Everyone is involved all time. For rotorcross, extra people serve as lap timers (bring your smartphone) and spotters.



Bring lots of blades (at least 20). You will need them.



3.2 Itinerary



Rotorcross

Practice >> 12:30

Meeting >> 2:00

Race >> 2:05



Blade-to-Blade

Practice >> 3:00

Race >> 3:45



Be prompt. If you arrive at 1:45 you will probably only get one practice run.



------------------------------------------------------------



4. POINTS

10 for 1st

8 for 2nd

7 for third, etc.



Results will be posted in the next scheduled meetup. It will look like this . . .



---------------------------------------------------------



5. DATES



Races will be held on the last Sunday of each month. Rain dates will push the event one week back.



-----------------------------------------------------------



6. PRACTICE



We will schedule a practice event two weeks prior to each event with the same course set as what will be using in the actual race.



-------------------------------------------------------------



7. RACE RULES



7.1. If you miss a turn or obstacle, you must turn around and fly through it again, otherwise you will get a DNF. Spotters will call it out as soon as it happens.



7.2. If you crash and can continue to fly without touching the aircraft, the there is no penalty as long as you run the designated course (ie, go back and fly through any missed turns). If you crash and the craft can't get back flying on its own, then it's a DNF. For blade-to-blade, you are not allowed to retrieve your craft until the race is over for safety purposes.



7.3. For rotorcross, a crash is considered a DNF. You get 2 runs, so a good strategy is to play it safe on the first run and get a time. Then on the second run, fly it like you stole it.



7.4. For Blade-to-Blade, if there are crashes by more than 1 racer, points are awarded based on who flew the furthest.



7.5. For timed events with multiple timing personnel, we only use the middle time (ie throw out high and low). If there are 4 timers, we use the second fastest.



7.6. The organization of races are dependent on how many people show up.



> For Rotorcross, groups of two racers will run 2 timed sessions each going one at a time. Others will serve as timers. We will cycle through the groups until all racers have 2 timed runs. If there are more than 6 racers, we will run 2 racers at a time and stagger the starts.



> For Blade-to-Blade racing, we will have a blind draw and divide up into groups of 3 or 4 depending on how many racers there are. The top 2 will advance to the next heat. The rest will go into a second bracket and will continue in a different heat. After all the heats (usually between 4 and 6) are completed, the course is open and racers can practice either course or have a friendly races amongst themselves. As of 2014, here are FPV Tree Racing rules.Guidelines can be found hereReview the sections titled "considerations" to discuss within your group what to change.There currently are many guidelines to choose from.Obstacle and Turn guidelinesFrequency Management guidelinesEvent-Obstacle Course guidelinesEvent-Object Mania guidelinesEvent-Rotorcross guidelinesEvent-Grand Prix guidelines---------------------Here is an except, but is it outdated.1.
