| A special rubber powered, (environmentally-friendly)
lightweight Pilatus PC-12 plane is being designed with lots of space for numbers and stickers! By adjusting the weights and the control surfaces, you should be able to fly (A) long distances, (B) circuits and (C) loops, using the wind and your skills to advantage. The 'rules' are being written so you can build your own plane if you want or get a plane through your local P&C/P&F's. Planes will be sold on race day for a $2 donation to the local P&C/P&F's. (For all planes flying at an event, $2 per plane will also be donated to the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia). The rubber band to make them go will be supplied so all planes have the same 'power source'. No motors, batteries, solar panels or remote controls permitted. You can use the 1 rubber band to power 2 propellers if you wish. Helicopter-type designs and gyrocopter designs will also be acceptable. |
