2011 - 2013 Rules for SAM RC Euro Champs
A. General Contest Requirements
In order to demonstrate fidelity to an original design, entrants may be required to provide SAM approved plans and/or photos of their models. The contest officials may measure and weigh models at any time in order to assure compliance with specifications.
The model’s design year and name or the designer’s name must appear on its surface. The model’s airfoil sections and landing gear position must be the same as the original. Dual wheel landing gears may be substituted for original one-wheel designs but not vice versa. Unless otherwise stated propellers must be two bladed, non-folding, and non-metal. All events permit scaling.
All events permit the contestant multiple entries provided they represent different designs. However, only one model from each contestant may earn a prize or receive points if an overall championship is to be awarded. Points for an overall championship will be three for each first place finish, two for each second place, and one point for each third. All models entered should be reported in the final results regardless of flights or placements.
Prior to model flying the contest director will hold a pilot’s briefing each morning in English and the local language or languages. He will name the events to be contested, the time periods each day during which official flights may be launched, and a tentative flyoff schedule in case of ties. He will explain the launch and landing areas, the RC channel control procedure, the safety rules, and any additional considerations for retrieving flyaway models from adjacent fields. The CD may also answer questions during these briefings.
The contest field will provide a smooth take-off area for the ROG of larger models and a generous landing area appropriate to the site. All events permit the use of binoculars and assistants. All model landings outside the designated area are to be scored zero. All engine or motor overruns are to be scored zero. Ground poles with mylar tape are acceptable but no thermal detecting devices of any type may be used in any model. Violation will result in disqualification of the contestant. To avoid flying over spectators, car parking, tents, and caravan areas, a safety line will be established. Officials will enforce this safety line by
issuing a warning for the first infraction and scoring the flight zero for a second infraction.
This document has been approved in English by members of the below listed jury for years 2011, 2012, and 2013 of the SAM RC Euro Champs and will be the basis for any and all translations. It may be posted on SAM websites in other languages for convenience. SAM Euro Champs hosts will post specific venue and date information as soon as it is available. San Marino will host 2011 to be followed by Slovakia in 2012 and Hungary in 2013.
Current jury members are: Domenico Bruschi, San Marino; Leo Bussmeier, Germany; Tiziano Bortolai, Italy; Jaroslav Rybak, Czech Republic; Alojz Pajdlhauser, Slovakia; Kalman Gelencser, Hungary, and Ed Hamler, USA. Approvals registered in July 2010.
