Contests
The most important thing about the competitions is just to participate and have fun. On Friday there will be a finale with dance music and award ceremony.
Motor competition: Simple standard aerobatics suitable for any model. Steady takeoff, three loops, fly through the limbo gate and land exactly in the landing area in three passes.
Slope soaring competition: There are two criteria – to keep the flight time exactly and to land centrally on a line in the landing field. Three passes are flown. A helper throws the gliders at the top of the meadow. Any sailor may participate. Only engines are not allowed to be started.
