2005 OKC 3D Extreme Challenge Freestyle Flight Rules.

Flight Preparation

1. On the Air Boss’s signal, the competitor will have 30 to get
into the air.

2. This includes time on the ground to for his crew to set up the
flight line or do any preparation that might be necessary for the flight.
The crews will not be allowed in the flight area at any time during the
flight.

3. The pilot will be allowed to have 2 additional people for
ground crew, to set up accessories (limbo poles, streamers, etc.), but they
will not be allowed to assist in the flight of the aircraft.

The Flight will be timed at 2 minutes

1. The starting point of the timed flight must be pre-determined by the
pilot, and judging will commence from that point.

2. It may be a point from which the wheels leave the ground, or it may also
be an “air-start”.
This must be made clear to the air boss prior to flight.

3. The judging will cease at the Air boss’s indication that the 2
minutes has expired.
The aircraft can come into contact with the ground or ceiling during the
flight. This will not effect the time.

Retrieval

1. The Pilot will have 30 seconds to get back on the ground and
clear the flight area, to allow for the set-up of the next flight.

Disqualification

1. If the aircraft passes the pre-established dead line (no-fly zone)
the flight will be disqualified.

2. If the airplane does not meet the pre-established guidelines of the
event.

Freestyle

1. The freestyle will be composed entirely by the competitor, meaning
the whole flight will be to his discretion. (no mandatory maneuvers)

2. All pilots will fly two to three rounds. This depends on total
number of participants and will be determined by the Contest director prior
to the start of the event and announced at the pilots meeting.

3. Once Air boss puts you in the on deck box you will have 30 seconds
to get airborne.

Flight Order

The flight order will be determined at the pilots meeting the
morning of the competition.

Aircraft

1. Airplanes must be operated by battery-powered electric motors.

2. A 18 ounce maximum weigh limit (ready to fly).

3. Must use a rubber spinner to cover prop shaft. (This is Mandatory)

4. Fuselage may be built up, but of foam construction.

5. Any additional control surfaces are allowed.

6. No Scale outline required.

7. In the event an airplane is damaged by contacting the floor or
ceiling, the pilot will be asked to land

Music

1. The music will be provided by the competitor.

2 The same music doesn't have to be use for all the flights.

3. The music determines the tone of the flight, and the flight
characteristics.

4. The music must be formatted on CD.

5. The music can be started by either a pilot assistant, or one of the OKC
3D staff.

Special Effects

1. All special effects ( limbo, steamers) must be pre-approved by the
OKC 3D Contest Director. This is for safety reasons as well as Insurance
liability purposes.
