Technical examinations:
We will announce the technical exams in advance so that no one gets any surprises in the race.
Each competitor must bring an original drawing of his model. It should also include a document that verifies the age of the model. The magnified models have to draw a drawing as far as the model itself. Of course, the model should not be forgotten at home.
Each race day, two technical committees will work during the competition, with Hungarian experts and English-language support. The leaders of the nations may, at any time, participate in any committee as observers in the work, but this is not mandatory. Competitors can take exams at any time in those categories that day.
The technical exam is optional but in the finals you can not start a model that did not pass the exam you receive. After finals there is no technical exam, but judges can check that the model has not changed. If it is not decisive, the top three players must be able to show the results of the exam. This lack of exclusion.
In the Technical Exam the following parameters are examined:
- Span, wing depth, body length, stabilizer span, depth, body shape,
- Weight, surface load
- Tolerance in all cases + - 2%
- Classic Texaco and Original Texaco tank capacity
- In Speed 400 and in ElectroRubber engine control.
- Members of the committee have the right to look at anything else but our goal is simple, quick and insightful investigation.
