Great news for senior aerobatic pilots!

Calling all mature, but highly experienced seniors in our club and perhaps also those slightly more wrinkled but immensely talented and capable jockeys who are not necessarily part of the regular competition scene!

We have a new official class!

“The Bald Eagles”

Let long in the tooth, become short in the tooth!
Put some lead back in your pencil!
Come show off what you’re made of!
Kick ass of the other ballies!
Let geriatric become energetic!

But most importantly come and have fun!

The rules are simple, so here's the lowdown;

Criteria for entry:
• Must be 55 years old or over on the day of the contest
The Format:
Should facilitate minimum preparation time (for the pilot) thereby maximising mentoring
time on the day:
• Only one Free sequence, flown twice at Regionals/three times at Nationals
• Best flight only to count.
The Sequence:
It should be possible to design the sequence so that, for an Unlimited pilot:
• It is easy on the body (compared to legacy Unlimited)
• It can be flown in an Extra 300L or similar on the highveld
The Rules:
The rules governing the design of the sequence are proposed as follows:
1. Maximum 380K
2. 10 figures
3. No repetitions of catalogue reference numbers
4. At least one spin
5. At least three flick rolls
a. At least one of which must be vertical up
b. At least one of which must be negative


These Rules are also available in “The Briefing Room” on our website.
