Michael,
In the US combat is usually flown with four or more planes. For local practice flying we tie a ten foot string leader onto the plane and attach a 30 foot crepe paper streamer. We count cuts to determine the winner.
Safety must be a priority. In the US we push the planes out 500 feet for every cubic inch of displacement from the spectators. In other words with a .25 (the most popular contest size engine) the airplanes must fly at least 125' away or in front of the spectators. We also make sure there is good separation between the pilots and the planes.
The rules for combat can be found at www.rcccombat.com and we welcome you to sign up as a guest to access all the forums.
The European combat community fly by "Aces" rules and their web site is http://aces.flugmodellbau.de/international/aces.htm
My web site www.georgiacombat.com has a lot of beginner information as well as reviews on the different popular designs being flown today in either open or scale class.
Hope it gets going on Malta.
