Hi guys, I need some advise. I am planning on compeating next month at Bomber field in a scale masters qualifier, fun scale beginner class, what ever the bigginer class is. I will only have a picture and description of my model for documentation to prove it is a real world prototype.

I dont have time to really work out a rutine for the flying portion as I just maidened the plane and only have about 6 test flights in. Had a dead stick and some minor damage that I am repairing and should have her ready to fly by next week. This only leaves one weekend to make sure all is good so not going to get in some practice.

My my goal is to just qualify for the championship in October. Is there a minimum flight time to score a passing grad? I am going over a basic rutine in my head and will practice that this weekend with another plane.

If im not mistaken the maditory maneuvers are 1. Takeoff, I got that she track very well and I can keep her on the ground as long as I want befor I rotate, gear up once I lift off and before the turn out. I am over powered so I need to watch my speed, mostly at 1/4 to 1/3 stick does the trick.

One lape at medium altitude then into a figure eight (2 maneuver). Then another lape into a low pass at 10-20' then one dirty pass and land. She lands good, I haven't tried flaps yet and haven't needed them but I know they are reqiered. I will see on the test flights. If push comes to shove I won't use them and take the hit.

Anyways just looking for some advice for my first try at compeating.

Thanks
