Six consecutive five minute flights - which include at least two loops and three rolls - that end with the models wheels on the ground (and still attached to the model) and the motor still running, without needing to bend, glue, tape or replace any structural member or covering material of the plane or any article of your own clothing between flights. If the model by design is incapable of a loop then two horizontal figure-of-eight patterns can be substitituted.

That, or 100 flights accumulated, whichever comes first. If you ain't got it by then you can't use "newbie" as an excuse.

Extra points are given for agreeing to take up an even fresher newbie's new, unflown plane and successfully returning it to earth undamaged after trimming it in flight; and then adjusting the linkages on the ground in such a way that it actually improves on the next flight.

Double points are given if you return the plane to earth undamaged after the fresher newbie had installed the aileron arms backwards, but immediately deducted because you didn't notice on your pre-flight check.
