I'm not quite sure what you're trying to do, but I'm fairly sure you're in the wrong forum.

Chris,

This forum is devoted to R/C Combat, where the pilots tie streamers to their planes and chase each other trying to cut streamers.

For more information, check out www.RCCombat.com or www.TreneffRC.com.

RC Combat is a class of RC competition. There's the versions that use streamers, there is full-contact slope combat, there's "zagi" style combat, and various electronic forms, such as the sonic combat modules.

However, guys who like to fly big warbirds, that's not "RC Combat", that's something that really goes in the "warbirds" forums, or the scale model forums. And forming a club based around warbird flying might go in the "clubhouse" section.

But I'm still confused about the origional intentions, since there are forms of combat competition that use scale models. 2610 class and 2548 are the most common. Both of those classes use .25 size engines and various rules about scale fidelity and other airframe issues. There is also 3696 electric scale combat. Are you planning on flying one of those, or some class of your own? If so, you're in the right place. If you're just flying warbirds around, then you're in the wrong place.

I used flying warbirds as a general term we will be facing each other in dogfights I will have 12 p-51s so members will not need to own a plane

Ah, ok, now you're making sense. It wasn't clear you meant RC Combat before.

We do get a fair number of posters in this forum who mistake flying scale warbirds with flying RC Combat.

even though the club isn't started I have already written up the first mission. this is how it would appear on the bulletin board in the hangar.

mission 1 breifing- single incoming enemy fighter

I am at the secondary airfeild preparing to put you through your first mission. the mission is to take out a single enemy fighter. if you can figure out the position of the secondary airfeild you may be able to send a bombing mission to destroy my plne before it leaves he ground, however this plan has obvious risks. the other option is to wait for my plane and fight me over your airfeild. make sure all planes have ribbons attached. I have set your feild with ribbons which will be used to determine whether you succeeded of failed to stop me from making a strafing run. of course my airfeild is within veiwing distance of yours so I will be watching. my plane may come at any time and from any direction.

I know you know what your saying, but you're not really communicating it to well.

Or I may just be dense er something.

No, I am dense, but you're still not communicating very well.

Well, I personally am not sure I understand how you expect things to work at your event. It doesn't sound like a typical combat contest, more like some of the events people have tried, like team combat or fighters vs bomber or whatnot. Those things can be a lot of fun, but it's not clear what you want to do or how it would work.

And on top of that, there really may not be anyone from your area reading this forum. There really aren't that many combat pilots out there.

Now, if you're trying to round up pilots in your area to try some things, maybe if you have an event location and time, and lay out what you want to do etc, and contact the flying clubs in your area as well as the online forums, you might be able to scare up some guys who will give it a try.

I am at the secondary airfield? Are you at one side of the flying site with the other guy at the other end?

If I can figure out the position of the secondary airfield? Still, nobody knows where the other person is? Are you flying cross country and hoping to meet somewhere in between?

Set the field with ribbons. Do you have streamers suspended like limbo ribbons that we are supposed to cut for strafing run points?

So, Let me put this as I can understand it.

Two pilots with streamers on their planes. Several streamers suspended on either side of the field. Pilots take off and try to cut the other guys streamers on the field while also trying to cut the opponents streamer. Pilot with no streamer can no longer attack the field streamers. Maximum damage would be to 'shoot down' your competitor and then make successful strafing runs on his 'field'.

The rest of your 'briefing' seems superfluous at best or confused and rambling at worst.

Am I communicating to YOU?

Maybe try this for an introductory posting.

Hey guys, I'd like to try a little variation on combat. I'd like to try setting up ground targets and then do one on one combat with the purpose being to get as many ground targets as possible while you still have a streamer on your fighter. When you loose your planes streamer you can't defend your ground targets so the object will be to cut your competitors plane streamer and then go tear up his ground targets.

Won't work though. Any smart competitor would start off by straifing and then go after the harder air target. The idea of airplanes trying to hit things on the ground at seperate portions of the field also worries me a bit. You'd have to make sure and lay out the field so that any ground strikes would not leave a possibly out of control airplane pointed at the pits.
