Precision Aerobatics Committee Canada

2006 AGM

Precision Aerobatics Report

          This was another successful year for Precision Aerobatics. The F3A team trials for the 2007 World championships hosted by the Victoria Radio Control Modelers were a great success. The team members for 2007 are Chad Northeast, Dezso Vaghy, Dave Reaville, Team manager Harry Ells.

This year, the Precision Aerobatics Committee was made up of 17 members plus a Chairman. I would like to thank the committee members for their participation on the committee. This year of the 17 voting ballots sent out, 13 were returned promptly.

The committee has launched its own official website. The site is dedicated to promoting PA and is to be used as a place to record and archive Canadian domestic and International competition results.

The committee is recommending the following changes to the rule book:

The Canadian Team Trials follow the current FAI Preliminary (P-xx) and Semi-Finals (F-xx) round and scoring structure for choosing the Canadian National Team. 

Judging requirements will be left at the discretion of the CD, however no less than 3 judges for preliminary rounds, and 5 for semi-final rounds will be utilized.

The current Preliminary and Semi-Final schedules as defined in the FAI Sporting Code will be used at the Team Trials competition in the above format.

“Turnaround flight is performed in a box, which is approximately 1,704 feet wide and 492 feet deep. It is a good idea to mark the two lines running at 60 degrees from the apex in a contrasting color to allow the pilot, who stands at the apex, the ability to visualize the edges of the box.”

To read

Turnaround flight is performed in a box, which is approximately 520 meters wide and 150 meters deep. It is a good idea to mark the two lines running at 60 degrees from the apex in a contrasting color to allow the pilot, who stands at the apex, the ability to visualize the edges of the box. 

No scores can be changed after a score has been entered and the flight has ended.
