Provisional Rule

 

 

 

Proposed alteration or addition :

6.5.3.1 New wording: The centre circle and the flight circle shall be marked (painted) on the ground in a colour having a high contrast to the ground, according to Sp. C. Volume F2, para. 4.3.2. The circle lines shall be 10 cm wide. The radii are: Centre circle, 3,0-3,1 m; Flight circle, 19,5-19,6 m. The centre of the centre circle shall be marked with a spot of 0,3 m diameter in the same colour as the circles.

 

Reason(s) :

It is an old decision taken in the early nineties, and a unanimous decision at the F2 Technical Meeting in 1997 supported this. However, there was never any change to the Organisers' guide. The marking of the circles is the adopted praxis.

Date of validity: Immediate

Provisional Rule

 

Proposed alteration or addition :

Replace the present Jury Guide with the new Jury Guide.

 

Reason(s) :

The Jury Guide is completely rewritten to be up to date with the latest rule changes.

 

Date of validity: Immediate, meaning March 16 2002. The Jury Guide is not a rule and has the following functions:

- To be a broad framework of how the jury’s responsibilities in managing and controlling the contest are to be carried out.

- To assist competitors to understand what and why the jury does what it does.

- To co-ordinate rule interpretations with current flying trends.

Provisional Rule

F2F- DIESEL GOODYEAR RACING MODEL AIRCRAFT

 

Proposed alteration or addition :

Add a new provisional rule to Volume F2

 

 

Reason(s) :

To encourage newcomers to fly teamrace there is a need for a simpler set of rules. This set of rules are not intended at any time to become an official rule with Championships. The rules have been tested in France over the last years with very good result. They do encourage participation within a country as well as internationally.
