FAC Contest January 14, 2018 Van Nuys, California
Posted: Sat Dec 23, 2017 3:51 am
FAC chapter 69, The Grassy Knoll Squadron, will hold a contest on January 14, 2018 at
the Sepulveda Basin. The contest was scheduled for December but had to be postponed until
January. The date is good assuming no fires, floods, earthquakes, or riots.
There are three events in this contest:
I. FAC scale. This is fully judged by the FAC rules which are less stringent
and complex than AMA scale rules. You can enter and compete without
documentation, but you will be at a disadvantage if others have documentation.
II. Pearl Harbor mass launch. This event is for scale models of planes that were in the
Hawaiian Islands during the December 7, 1941 attack.
.
III. Scale catapult glider.
Please note, the Grassy Knoll is a somewhat small field and to keep the models on the field the
15% of model weight motor weight rule will be in effect for FAC scale and Pearl Harbor events.
Models of about 18 inch wing span do well on this field.
The flying will start at 9:00 AM to stay ahead of the wind that comes up later.
