FH,
Your link didn't work for me. Took me to an AMA page about schedules, but that was all.
Couple of others:
Climb and glide; contestants get 30 seconds (timed) to climb as high as possible. The they must kill the engien and glide dead stick as long as possible. Longest glide time wins. (If the engine does not die then the round receives a zero.) Time stops when the wheels touch.
Loops, or Rolls, or a combination:
Pilot has plane on runway, calls go. Time starts and the pilot must take off, climb and do 3 loops (or rolls or...) then land. Time stops when the wheels touch down. Shortest time wins.
Timed flight:
Pilot gets plane on runway, calls "go". Time starts, and pilot takes off and flys until he thinks 60 seconds has passed. Time stops when the wheels touch the runway. Closest to 60 seconds wins.
Or a variation. Pilot says go and time starts. Pilot must take off, fly a full 360 degree circuit of the field and land. Time stops when the wheels touch, and the pilot must guess how long he was in the air. Closest time wins.
Obviously, pilots can not use timers on their transmitters for these two events.
