1. To encourage team racing skills amongst less experienced flyers.
2. To enable flyers to compete with simple, attractive, cheap but strong aircraft that can be powered by any 2.5 cc engine.
3. To encourage' flyers to compete where no event was easily accessible previously and while winning is important fun and enjoyment are seen as top priorities.
4. To have a racing event which will- not be dominated by expensive equipment and technology.

1. Each competitor shall fly 2 x 5 minute heats and 1 x 10 minute final. The score will be the sum of the laps for the final and the better of two heats (1 discarded).
2. As no cut outs are allowed each competitor must judge the size of his fuel tank to enable him to have one pit stop in a five minute heat and two pit stops in a ten minute final. Different tanks can be used.
3. When a plane pits it must be taken to any vacant pit (6 marked on the circle) for refuelling and restarting. No one has the right to a pit once a plane has left it. If a pit is occupied you must go to the next nearest pit or wait for a pit to become vacant. Fouling another competitor during this operation will result in disqualification.
4. It is essential to complete a minimum of one lap after a pit stop to record an official flight. If this not done a score of zero laps will be recorded.
5. Planes will be checked over 10 laps during flights to ensure the speed rule is not broken. 32 seconds per 10 laps equals 70 mph. A penalty of 25 laps will result for each speeding flight.
6. High flying will not be allowed. 3 warnings per race will result in disqualification.

Due to the difficulties of flying a set time with set stops and no shut off the following rule change is effective from 25th Sept 2009.

• The first two rounds will be 80 laps with one stop.
• The third round will be 160 laps with two stops.

1. All aircraft should be profile models simply and strongly built, (with rio need for internal controls or streamlining) that are recognisable as real aircraft (Goodyear or examples of real aircraft e.g. Mustang or Spitfire) approximately 23" - 28" span.
2. Engines must be a maximum of 2.5 cc with  no muffler required.
3. 5.. Maximum fuel tank piping size 1/8" outside diameter. No fast fill is. Permitted.
4. Control lines will be 52' 3" from the centre of the aircraft to the front of the handle grip and will be checked at the beginning of each competition. Minimum line diameter .012".
