Region 8 Event Clarifications (none yet)
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT FLIGHT EVENT: It appears as if some of the planes built from kits need to be slightly bent in order to fit into the required box dimensions. Under the Construction Parameters 3.d. “The aircraft in its flight configuration and during the flight must fit into a team-provided rectangular box”. 3.f. “Flight Configuration means the aircraft is fully assembled and ready to fly. For example, no change in chord, span, length, or total lifting area (as verified by returning aircraft to box after flying) can occur after removing the aircraft from its box and throughout the flight itself. Rotating components such as propellers or rotors may be rotated to allow the aircraft to fit into the box.” If the plane span is slightly bent in order to get it into the box and then it expands to its full length when removed, this is a construction violation. The plane should slide in and out of the box without any need to “bend” any part of the plane.
