Default What a blast!

A bunch of us in the club descided we wanted to try combat and last night we did! 4 airplanes and pilots showed up and we were off and flying. We flew a mixed class with 3 SCC birds and one Open-B.

Within a few minutes we had a midair that took one out and the second was repaired with some packing tape. We had one streamer cut and a whole lot of fun. we flew two rounds before the light ran out.

We are flying a plane that we have been designing for the last few months - Coro fuse and tail and foam wings. We kitted this plane to get people intersted and we are not limiting it to just that design, we descided anyone who has a plane that meets the rules is welcome.

We descided that we are going to formalize the flying a little by writing down the safety rules for our field and having pilot breif and tech inspections. Other than what's on the RCCombat.com and the AMA website does anyone have any suggestions for rules. I believe in the KISS principal.

So far we have: [link=http://www.wichitapilot.com/page.php?pageid=34]http://www.wichitapilot.com/page.php?pageid=34[/link]

I can't wait to get out to the field and do this again!
