martynk Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 A placeholder for the 3rd 2M Hi-Start 14 day duration Challenge for 2019 Please submit your score below. The clock will start when the first score is submitted. This is a for fun challenge, anyone with a bungee-launched glider up to 2 metres wingspan and the standard Hi-Start can post a time. Object: Fly your 2 metre glider for as long as possible from a flat field, the person who's time is unbeaten for 14 days 'wins' and a new challenge starts. Rules: Launches must be made from the standard Challenge Hi-Start bungee. Flight times begin when line releases from the towhook and the model must land in the field for times to count. While the object is to encourage F3-RES types, any model up to 2 metre span may be flown (F3-RES, foam, full house aileron mouldie) but please state the type of model with your time. The standard Hi-Start bungee is a maximum of 10m of 6/4mm surgical tubing and 50m of static line (minimum 30lb breaking strain). Lighter/smaller bungee rubber may be used. Fly safely!

GuyB Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Appreciate the comment but honestly, if I’d launched my fridge freezer at midday today I would have struggled to get it down again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
