Sorry for the double post, but a new FAQ just dropped that apparently puts this to rest: "(Section: 6 / Paragraph: d. / Line: 3) 02/14/2022 IS WEIGHT TO HAVE AN OPEN HOOK OR EYE HOOK? It should have an eye hook." Since the change from open hook to eye hook is a direct change from the writ...

One other interesting point is the registration fees paid by the teams. My assumption is the State and National competitions were canceled early enough that they could refunds for facilities and hotels.

Basically, the rules are crap because they wanted to screw us all over with difficult to fly airplanes. As a manufacturer I...

Predictions for winning times at nats? Considering the 40' ceiling id say around 130-135 seconds total would win. I’m going to guess the winning time total will be 127.5 seconds or a score of 154 counting all Bonuses. Good luck to everyone Ps. I’m also going out on a limb and going to guess Tower H...
