ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ~SECOND FLIGHT LINE
For the record...
There were 3 criteria
for this years plans.
First was the issue of "low passers" flying in the pattern with 3Der's
down on the deck. We have been more and more concerned over the last few years
with the safety of this practice. And, as I said in the letter, safety is job
1 at Triple Tree. As you know, it has always been our policy for 3D flying to
be "over the trees", but this has not been enforced well enough in
the past.
This year, all 3D flying at the present flight line will be STRICTLY enforced!
In other words, you are welcome to fly 3D at both flight lines, but if you want
the freedom to hug the deck, you will need to plan on flying at the new flight
line. This, obviously doesn't apply to the noon-time demo's.
The second objective is to hopefully allow more pilots more chances to fly.
'nuff said.
Third, there are at least as many RC flyers that do not fly 3D as those that
do. The Joe Nall, among other things, is about including all facets of RC model
aviation.
Further, it was well said, that IF these changes don't work for some reason,
we will adapt in the future.
To recap:
* 3D flying allowed at both flight lines, with restrictions at the primary flight
line.
* New flight line will be 2.4ghz ONLY.
* 2.4ghz allowed at both flight lines (and the lake along with channels 22,
23 and 24).
* "Full blown" 3D hucking at the new flight line ONLY!
By the way, all of our flight lines will be controlled by Confederate Air Farce
personnel.
We hope everyone is as excited about this year's event as we are to bring it
to you!
