Hi All,
I put up my hand to organize a multirotor/FPV day during the New Zealand NZMAA Nats (the one big event per year) where they do all the competition stuff.
http://modelflyingnz.org/nats.htm that is last years, my day is 3rd Jan 2015
Anyway, have been given 1 day to organize some events for, and have a 300x200X300 meter grass triangle flying area to work with.
Need to have some events, for multirotors, fpv multirotors, and possibly fixed wing FPV
They have to be good fun, and competitive.
I need to be able to set it up simply in an hour or so, before pilot registration (cant set up day before as field is in use)
Thoughts so far
20 meter figure 8 , either time trials or 3-4 machines at once over 10 laps
Pylon race (maybe a 50-60 meter course) 5-6 laps - FPV fixed wing could also fly it
Long course (FPV only)- one that runs the full length of the 300 meters, done either as a 5 lap race or individual time trial, would have a long straight, fast and slow corners, some chicanes and maybe a bar at 5ft off the ground that has to be flown under.
any other ideas or suggestions ?
the 250 size is getting really popular over here and make great little racers, so maybe need to set up a class for them (1300 mah 3S lipo max ?) and something for the bigger machines
