Ready for the 2nd Annual Sliding Auto Contest? — It’s Free!

Ready for a break from piro flips, hurricanes, and inverted auto overspeeds? Something relaxing and amusing? Random RC is sponsoring a Sliding Autorotation Contest

There’s no cost to enter and you get a cool T-shirt for participating.

The Program

• • Before the Contest: Visit the Pilots’ Lounge for your Official Contest T-Shirt
  • Thursday-Friday: Practice and expert (Instructor Pilots TBD closer to the event) instruction
  • Saturday: the Contest (approximately 2 hours)

The Contest Rules

1. 1. Helicopters must be 550 size or larger.
   2. Each helicopter will have Random RC skis attached to the skids.
   3. Each pilot will fly up to four autos.
   4. The autorotation must begin at or above 50’ AGL (OK, we’ll eyeball it).
   5. Initial touchdown must be within the marked 30′ long ‘touchdown zone.’
   6. (The touchdown zone has a ‘foul line.’ The helicopter must touch down before the foul line in order for a slide to count.)
   7. Sliding distance is measured from the foul line to the position of the main rotor shaft at the end of the slide. (This method eliminates the need for spotters and marking the initial touchdown point. Pilots should endeavor to touch down as close to the ‘foul line’ as possible to have the maximum amount of their slide distance included in their score.)
   8. Intentionally lifting off the surface after initial touchdown or bouncing and floating more than 5′ will ‘scratch’ that attempt.            

The Winners

• • Longest Single Slide
  • Longest Combined Three Slides
  • Longest Failed Auto ‘Tumble’ (or debris field)

All three winners will receive:

          A set of Random RC skis (slightly used) with Skid Clamps mounted to fit their heli,

          Bragging rights for at least until the next contest!
