Hi dudes !
Don't get me wrong. I am just trying to figure out if air racing could be something else than just pure speed.
Ever tought about it differently ? I was trying to design a very lite and costeffective model for RC flying and I figured there is no class under FAI for it.
Parameters for the race I was thinking would be;
1. Ability to carry a payload of certain size and weight.
2. Flying longest distance with limited amount of fuel.
3. Take off and landing of the shortest distance.
Anyone find this interesting ( modellers and pilots comment all welcome ) ?
So far we have found out that the rulez are hard to define...altought I figured one set for the rules.
I personally was off to design something in between Steve Fossett global record braker and Pilatus Porter ( or Piper Cup ).
yours,
Juke
