The Fritz Bien Memorial contest will be electric-launched thermal duration (ALES). Planes should be equipped with a CAM or similar circuit that cuts off power to the motor at 30 seconds or 200 meters of elevation, which ever comes first.
Scoring will be man-on-man thermal duration with the flight time starting when the motor is turned on. We will have a single pilot class.
Entry Fee: $25 per day includes take out lunch and drinks.
Awards for First, Second and Third places each day, and Overall Weekend Champion
We are also planning to have a Handicap Cup award for the top-scoring pilot flying a non-composite, under 3.5 meter plane. Details will be announced when finalized.
