kevb Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Horsham BMFA F5J League Event - Sunday 5 May 2017 Horsham and District RCMC are hosting a BMFA League F5J competition at Lordings Farm, Nr Billingshurst, West Sussex on Sunday 7 May 2017. We will be running a relaxed and fun competition for both existing competition flyers and new pilots alike. All welcome. Directions to the field can be found here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/WADARC+SSB+Field+Day/@51.006585,-0.4774387,459m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xbad0546393cf519f!8m2!3d51.0063672!4d-0.4743782?hl=en Get your entries in. Entrie so far: Latest entries.

First flight’s at 10am Entry fee £10.00 (BMFA requirement) payable on the day. Proof of insurance (BMFA membership card is sufficient) required Closing date for entries is 6.00pm Friday 5th May In the event that there is any doubt as to whether the event will be run due to forecasted inclement weather, a final decision will be posted on the BARCS and Esoaring websites by no later than 4pm on Saturday 6th May. We look forward to seeing you on the field.

kevb Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Hi Buster, Your model is fine and as long as the altis is set for 300m hight cut off it ok. Come and have a good time, we all started somewhere and the only way to get better is to fly with others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev, Sorry to bother you again on this, but do I need to set Altis to F5J software and then adjust height limit to 300m, or just set to 300m on standard software? Apologies for novice question.

Apologies for novice question. Regards Eamon You can use the standard firm ware and set it to 300m. This will allow you to restart the motor in an emergency to get home but get a zero score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
