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.

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 - Such a Great success we will do this each day at 1PM for 20 minutes.

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.

NEW IMPORTANT INFO
RV's / Campers and Tent Camping:

UPDATED!!!
 CHECK THE PRE-REGISTRATION FOR CAMPING.

Showers are included with all camping fees.

  • Portable generator use at SEFF:

    • They are allowed anywhere on the property except in the “no generator camping area”.
    • For consideration of others, they must meet the following noise level criteria:
    o Maintain a maximum sound level of 65 Db under full load.
    o We will have a calibrated meter and can / will take the reading 10 feet from the unit.

    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.
  • POP UP campers are classified as an RV not a tent.

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  RV parking fee LISTED IN PRE-REGISTRATION PAGE!.


You will be directed to the available parking areas for RV’s when you get to the field.
You will receive a special RV parking pass that needs to be displayed on the driver side windshield. The pass will be emailed to you right before the event.
