SEFF
EXTREME SPEED
Twice a day we are going to have
a half hour of speed in the sport plane section. This will be open
to planes 100 mph and faster! It will be at 1130 and 1730 each
day. One catch, we will have a trial period on Thursday 1730 and
Friday 1130. If we don't get enough participation, we will cancel
the slot. Just won't shut down open flying if not enough pilots
want to fly.
1, All pilots will get a briefing as to rules
for extreme speed.
2, Flight path will be altered to make
sure we have more separation with the crowd.
3, You will
need to be at the flight line, get a briefing, and be ready to GO
when the slot opens.
SEFF Ultimate Destruction Combat
When: Right after noon demos at show
center
Any air worthy plane can fly in the event. The limit
on battery will be a 2 or 3 cell with 1320mAh
Max.
Start the horn with full contact, as your out
step back away from the flight line, when plane/pilot count gets
to 6, I will have 6 judges ready to step up assigned to each pilot
to start counting impacts upon a second horn sound for the final 2
minute countdown, Any model(s) involved in an impact hitter/hitty
scores a point via judges official tally not pilots. Both or
multiple planes score per impact. The winner would be declared by
most impacts. In case of tie draw straws from clenched fist for
shortest.
This is like a qualify heat with a final all in
one, then ultimate luck if your skills are equal. This format
should limit duration as well as purpose built duration models
with no maneuverability or combat skills strictly entering on
luck.

worked well this past year.

Camping
at SEFF
• We are
not a campground. We are an RC event that allows RV’s to park in
the parking lot.
• We will pack RV’s /
Campers as reasonably close as possible to make space for
everyone.
• No RV’s will be parked on the first
row of pit area. This is no different than last year.
• We ask that you shut down
your RV generator’s from 10 pm to 7 am. We are not going to make
this a rule…just a request for those that can do so.
• If your RV utilizes a
diesel generator, we ask that you use an exhaust pipe extension to
help reduce noxious fumes to those around you. We are not
requiring this...but may have to if it becomes a bigger problem.
If you do not have an extension…..you should ask the RV host to
park you away from the more dense areas.
1. Spots with electrical hookups:
There are a limited number of electrical hookups for RV's
available right in the pit area. However, you must contact
Mac Hodges (property owner) to reserve a spot. There is a
small fee to use the hookups. You can get more information by
calling Mac at (866)924-9505 Pilot's RV's will get first
priority on the property. If you have a space reserved with
Mac Hodges that has hookups…you won’t have to pay the $30 RV
parking fee listed below.
2. Spots with no hookups: (just a parking
space)
RV parking pass details: The fee is $30 and covers the
entire weekend. Pilots with RV’s will need to pay the $30 RV
parking fee and the pilot registration fee of $30. Spectator’s
with RV’s will need to pay the $30 RV parking fee and this will
cover parking and admissions for the entire weekend. There
are no hookups with this pass. You must contact Hodges Hobbies
about hookups….but we can tell you they are already sold out if
you did not get a spot last year. You will be directed to the
available parking areas for RV’s when you get to the field.
