1 Model Helicopter Speed Flying Association Document # SFA 001: Classifications, Rules, Course Layout, and Timing Revision: Original Release Date: April 17, 2016 This contents of this document are recognized as the official rules set by which all MHSFA officiated speed events are governed from the date of it s initial release until two calendar years have elapsed from that date. Please forward any constructive feedback or suggested modifications for this document to MHSFA. Feedback will be considered by the appropriate committee during the next revision period for this document.

2 Document Overview The following document has been authored by the Model Helicopter Speed Flying Association as a means to establish a universal rules set for the international model helicopter speed flying community based on international competition standards and past experience of the organization s membership. As such, those interested in becoming proficient in the model helicopter speed flying discipline as either a competitive pilot or an event officiator should consider this rules set as a standard for best practices. If an event is an MHSFA officiated competition or is part of an official MHSFA competition circuit with the intent of determining formal competitor standings recognized by MHSFA or its peer organizations, then these rules shall be followed explicitly. If an event does not result in officially recognized standings, it is said to be a non formal or grass roots event. In this case, the contest director may choose to modify any and all rules outlined herein to suit the needs and constraints of their specific event. Nevertheless, MHSFA strongly recommends continued adherence to all safety based rules and guidelines as a means to ensure that the event is executed in a manner that maintains the well being of all officials, pilots, and spectators who may be involved. Introduction to the Helicopter Speed Flying Discipline A helicopter speed flying event (often referred to as a speed cup) is a competition where model helicopters are flown one at the time, much like a Bonneville speed run, in an effort to achieve the fastest average speed over the course with passes or runs in both directions. Each competitor may perform as many runs as possible within the allotted time limit. A minimum of one run in each direction is required to get a scored flight. A scored flight is then assigned a time value that is computed from the average of the best pass time in each of the two directions. Finally, this average time value is used to compute the model s average speed over the course length. Model Helicopter Speed Flying Association

3 1. Model Classification Classes are differentiated by body type and blade size. See detailed descriptions below: 1.1. Body Type Sport A standard, pod and boom model with a canopy that is open (not fully enclosed) starting at the axial location of the main shaft and extending to its aft most extent axially and starting at the height of the boom and extended to the ground vertically. Models shall also have a rotor shaft perpendicular to the boom. Models shall meet the homologation rule Formula A model with an airframe that is fully enclosed by a fuselage. The model shall have a nearly continuous outer mold line with the exception of the point of egress of the main rotor, tail rotor, and landing gear assemblies. Models need not have a rotor shaft that is perpendicular to the boom. Models need not meet homologation rule Blade Size Class mm Class mm Class mm Class mm Class mm Class mm 2. Pilot Classification and Ranking 2.1. Skill Level In order to allow pilots to compete amongst their peers and have equal opportunity for recognition within the community, each MHSFA registered pilot will be given the choice of which skill level in which to compete for each season. The two available levels are Novice and Master. Novice is a category intended for those pilots who are just beginning or still learning the speed discipline or for those people who do not have aspirations to progress to a more advanced level. Novice pilots will only compete against other novice pilots and will not be subject to the pre stage rule for their course. This is level is intended for the so called weekend warrior. Master is a level intended for those pilots whose experience level and scoring consistency put them in the top few percent of their respective classes nationally or internationally for a given season. These pilots are subject to the pre stage rule for their course. Additionally, the highest ranked master pilots in a given season may be invited to participate in larger national or international events that Model Helicopter Speed Flying Association

4 will provide additional community exposure to the pilot and whose top ranks will be given special awards. In an effort to prevent sandbaggers, MHSFA will periodically assess the novice and master level statistics for average and maximum speeds across all pilots to determine whether there are any individuals who might consider changing their skill level to better accommodate them and their peers. While MHSFA may notify a pilot that they are better suited for one class or another based on these statistics, we will not force any pilot to compete in a specific skill level. We encourage each pilot to consider their personal goals and the impact of their rankings on their fellow speed community members. It is, of course, not fun to either always lose to someone who is clearly at a higher skill level, or win against someone who is clearly at lower skill level Please be kind! 2.2. Ranking During an MHSFA officiated event, the officials shall record every pilot s best left and best right time through the course for each round flown as a minimum means to determine final ranking for each class in that event. MHSFA official recognizes first, second, and third places as determined by the top three speeds computed via an average of the best left and best right times recorded. While the number and specifics of awards are left to the discretion of the contest director, MHSFA does encourage providing some form of incentive for the highest ranks in any given event. Additionally, MHSFA may provide the contest director of a given event the option to purchase first, second, and third place medals with the MHSFA logo on them prior to their event as a means to recognize those highest ranked pilots. MHSFA will maintain a record of each MHSFA registered pilot s past performance including, but not limited to final scores and ranks from each MHSFA officiated event in which they ve competed, best speed, and average speed. This information may be displayed on MHSFA s website if agreed to by the individual pilot to whom the record belongs. 3. Competition Rules 3.1. Course and Flight Rules Spotter All pilots shall have a spotter or caller that stands with them during their flight as a means to provide feedback to the pilot regarding flight path, course boundaries, safety, and identification of full scale aircraft in the immediate vicinity. If a pilot does not have a spotter at the time of flight, then an event official shall perform this role instead. Model Helicopter Speed Flying Association

5 Number of Scoring Rounds A flight from which an official score is measured is referred to as a round. A minimum of one round per class shall be executed for all pilots Course Length Course length shall be determined by blade size. Classes 1 and 2 shall run on the short course and Classes 3 through 6 shall run on the long course. See the Course Layout section for details of course geometry Pre Staging All pilots whose skill level is identified as master shall run a course that is bounded on either side by a pre stage. The intent of this is for the pilot to control the model s entry into the pre stage area so that it is in level flight such that the resulting course speed is not significantly enhanced by diving. The pre stage length shall be one half of the length of the course to which it is applied. Novice pilots are not required to observe a course pre stage. See the Course Layout section for details of course geometry Flight Path The model shall travel the base course in both directions without landing. All models shall be in level flight at the point of entry to the pre stage and course. The flight path shall be parallel to the base course and shall not cross the course boundary Flight Altitude The altitude of the model shall remain below 35 meters (114.8 feet) and above 5 meters (16.4 feet) during the flight through the course and/or pre stage depending on the event type. Altitudes are measured from the pilot s base. An altitude infraction will result in a null pass Line of Sight Control Only control of the model via direct visual contact is allowed. First Person Video control is not permitted Flight Time Limit The pilot has 3.5 minutes from lift off to complete as many passes as possible and shall land before the time runs out. In the event that this limit is exceeded, the pilot s flight will be considered null for purposes of formal scoring or ranking Demonstration Flights Manufacturer model and hardware demonstrations may be performed and scored at the discretion of the contest director, but shall not count towards formal records, rankings, or circuit standings Model Entry Rules Number of Entries A pilot can compete with one entry per class. The limit on the number of classes in which the pilot may participate is left to the discretion of the contest director. A pilot is permitted to fly up to two additional entries not of their own; however, any records, rankings, or circuit standings are awarded to the model owner Homologation Rule Models of the Sport body type shall be commercially available and have a minimum of 30 kits available to the public no later than 30 days before the event date. Model Helicopter Speed Flying Association

6 3.3. Model Configuration Rules Maximum Weight The maximum ready to fly weight of a given model must not exceed the value listed below for its respective blade size range: Class mm: 1750g Class mm: 3750g Class mm: 5500g Class mm: 6750g Class mm: 7500g Class mm: 8000g Auxiliary Propulsion Models shall be propelled by the main rotor only and may not include compound propulsion (e.g. tractor/pusher propellers, rockets, etc) Auxiliary Airfoils Models shall not have wings or other auxiliary airfoils with a surface area more than 4% of the main rotor swept area Power Systems Electric, nitro, and gasoline power systems may be used in any model classification. The power system no load voltage, glow displacement, and gasoline displacement limits shall be 72V, 23cc (1.4 cubic inches), and 40cc (2.3 cubic inches) Retractable Landing Gear Retractable landing gear may be used on any model as long as they can be shown to be stable during the technical and safety inspection Rotor Blade Composition No metal blades are allowed. Only commercially available blades are allowed for those models of the Sport body type that are classified as Stock. Formula models and models of the Sport body type that are classified as Modified may use experimental composite blades; however, these blades shall be approved by the contest director a minimum of 30 days prior to the event date Tail Rotor Protection All models shall have a form of landing gear and tail skid sufficient to protect the tail blades from ground strikes Modifications Modifications from stock configuration may be performed on all models; however, a model shall not be allowed to fly if a modification is deemed to be a safety hazard during the technical and safety inspection Flight Safety Rules Personnel Protection Pilots and spotters shall wear an approved helmet at all times when beyond the designated safety line to compete, practice, or test during the event. Helmets shall carry a DOT, ANSI, OSHA, Snell or equivalent safety rating Model Flight Safety The pilot shall maintain control of the model throughout the flight. If the model exhibits signs of high speed instability, erratic flight, a stall, or an in flight anomaly, the pilot will be asked to land as soon and as safely possible. Any 3D maneuvers, aerobatics, or showboating will not be tolerated and will result in the pilot being asked Model Helicopter Speed Flying Association

7 to land and that flight being considered null for purposes of formal scoring or ranking Inspections All models shall undergo a technical and safety inspection before entering the event. If the officials call for a flight termination due to a model flight safety violation, then a re inspection of the model shall be performed before it can resume competition. Officials shall identify any and all conditions that represent a constraint to flight and request that they be corrected before the model is declared competition ready. At any point during the event, an official may call for a random inspection, to which the selected pilot shall submit. If this inspection is refused, then the selected pilot shall be disqualified from further participation and will lose all official scores and rankings for the event Post Competition Inspection of Top Ranked Pilots Upon completion of the event s competition rounds and scoring, the top three pilots in each recognized class shall submit their model for a final inspection. This is to ensure that no unsafe conditions were present during their flight that may have been imperceivable during the original inspection. At a minimum, the inspector shall assess the condition of the main grips, main blade bolts, and main spindle bolts for signs of deformation, which is indicative of an over stressing of the model due to excessive head speed. If a model passes this inspection, then the pilot shall retain their respective ranking. If the model does not pass this inspection, then the pilot shall forfeit their rank to the next highest ranked pilot on the list and will lose all official scores and rankings for the event. 4. Contest Director Discretionary Rules 4.1. Pilot Count Per Class or Skill Level The number of pilots necessary to officially recognize a class or skill level in a given event is left to the discretion of the contest director. That said, MHSFA recommends that any class or skill level whose pilot count is fewer than three should be considered for combination (or orphaning) with another more populated class or skill level. This combination is also left to the discretion of the contest director. In this situation, the awards provided are left to the discretion of the contest director, but the ranks and scores that are recorded in each pilot s official MHSFA record will be consistent with the class and skill level that they represent, not their orphaned or combined class/skill group. In other words, a single master S3 pilot competing amongst other Novice S3 pilots may or may not receive an award recognizing his rank in his true class/skill group or in the novice class/skill group to which he is orphaned for a given event; Model Helicopter Speed Flying Association

8 however, his record will reflect that he competed and was scored as an master S3 pilot Number of Model Classes The number of classes recognized in a given event is left to the discretion of the contest director. For example, there may be a group of pilots who are interested in holding a small model speed event only to focus on Class 1 and Class 2 models. As long as all other rules are adhered to, this is still acceptable and will be recognized as an MHSFA officiated event Number of Scoring Rounds Additional rounds may be performed for official scoring at the discretion of the contest director. If multiple rounds are performed, then all pilots shall have the right of refusal to fly in additional rounds. The scoring approach for multiple rounds shall use the best round score for a given pilot as the official score from which to determine the final ranking. Individual run scores shall not be combined between rounds to determine the final ranking Order of Classes The order in which class rounds are run shall be at the discretion of the contest director. If the course layout and timing system are able to accommodate running any of the six classes at any given time, then this is preferred. If course layout and/or timing system changes need to be made to accommodate different classes, then it is advisable to execute all of the scoring rounds for one course size first before moving on to the other course size. 5. Course Layout 5.1. Flight Line The flight line is defined as the front most edge of the course beyond which no personnel may pass. This is also the location closest to the course that a pilot and their spotter may stand during a flight. Only models are allowed beyond this boundary. All other dimensions defining boundaries that are parallel (y axis dimensions with the flight line being y = 0) to the course are referenced from the flight line Staging Line The staging line is defined as the the boundary beyond which only pilots and their spotters who are executing a flight may pass. Officials may cross the staging line at their discretion should they need to communicate with the pilot or spotter urgently. The staging line shall be a located at a minus y axis minimum distance of 20 meters (65.6 feet) Flight Station Line The flight station line is the geometric center of the course in the x direction and is defined as a line that extends from the flight line to the staging line. The pilot and their spotter may stand anywhere on the flight station line starting at one half the distance between the staging line and the flight line and extending to the flight line and within plus/minus 3 meters (9.8 feet) in the x direction of this line during their flight. All other dimensions defining boundaries that are perpendicular (x axis dimensions with the flight station line being x = 0) to the course are referenced from the flight station line. Model Helicopter Speed Flying Association

9 5.4. Pit Line The pit line is defined as the boundary beyond which only officials and pilots/spotters who are staging for imminent flight may pass. All other pilots, spotters, team members, and spectators shall remain behind the pit line at all times. The pit line shall be located at a minus y axis minimum distance of 40 meters (131.2 feet) Course Base The short course has a base length of 120 meters (393.7 feet) and the long course has a base of 200 meters (656.2 feet) aligned parallel to the flight line. The course base is defined by two sets of pylons (near and far) that outline a rectangle whose left and right most extents shall be located at ±x axis distances of one half of the course length, whose near side boundary shall be located at a plus y axis distance of 20 meters (65.6 feet), and whose far side boundary shall be located at a plus y axis distance of 40 meters (131.2 feet). Furthermore, where ground level defines z = 0, the course base extends in this third dimension from a plus z axis distance of 5 meters (16.4 feet) to 35 meters (114.8 feet) commensurate with the limits on flight altitude described above Pre Stage The pre stage length shall be one half of the length of the course to which it is applied, such that the short course shall have a 60 meter (196.9 foot) pre stage and the long course shall have a 100 meter (328.1 foot) pre stage. The pre stage areas are defined by the left and right most extents of the course base rectangle as defined above and at least one pylon at their furthest extent that is located at plus/minus x axis distances of the appropriate pre stage length plus one half the course length and at a plus y axis distance of 30 meters (98.4 feet) Pylons Each pylon shall be a minimum of 3 meters (9.8 feet) tall; however, MHSFA recommends using pylons that are 5 meters (16.4 feet) tall as a means to visually indicate the minimum course altitude for the pilots, judges, and spectators Pre Stage Stations Pre stage stations shall be located at plus/minus x axis distances equal to the that of the furthest extent of their related pre stage areas as defined above and at a minus y axis distance of 20 meters (65.6 feet) Gauging of Pre Stage Altitude The gauge pylons used at each pre stage station as a go/no go gauge of maximum and minimum flight altitude shall be defined as follows: The plus/minus x axis locations of the gauge pylons shall be at a same location as the pre stage stations The location of the gauge pylons shall be at a minus y axis distance of 20 meters (65.6 feet) The height of the gauge pylons shall be 2 meters (6.6 feet). This represents go/no go gauge of the maximum altitude when viewed from the perspective of the pre stage judge The gauge pylons shall have a mark at a plus z axis distance of 1.33 meters (4.4 feet) as go/no go gauge of minimum altitude when viewed from the perspective of the pre stage judge. Model Helicopter Speed Flying Association

10 The pre stage judge shall sit at a minus y axis location of 21.1 meters (69.4 feet). This assumes that the average judge s eye level will be at a plus z axis distance of 1.25 meters (4.1 feet) when sitting Trigger Stations Trigger stations shall be located at plus/minus x axis distances equal to the that of the furthest extent of their related course as defined above and at a minus y axis distance of 50 meters (164.1 feet) Scoring Station The scoring station shall be located at the intersection of the flight station line and the staging line. The scoring station is the location at which times are recorded and the home base for all course officials Pit Station The pit station shall be located no closer to the flight line than y axis location of the pit line. This is where pilots who are not staging for imminent flight, their teams, and inspectors may gather to prepare for the event. 6. Model Timing and Speed Computation 6.1. Methods Timing of a pilot during a flight shall be accomplished by way of using a single timing device such as a chronometer with two triggers or two timing devices that are used independently to determine two sets of times. If two devices are used, then the two times measured per run shall be recorded separately and the average of the two measurements shall be computed in order to determine the official time for a given run. The elapsed time of the model through the course is measured by starting and stopping the timer by the timekeepers at the entry gates as indicated by visual confirmation that the model has crossed over the course boundary into and out of the course. Each timekeeper should sit at their course timing station and align their sight lines with the two pylons that represent the course boundary as a means to determine when the model has crossed the boundary. In practical terms, this is accomplished via one of two ways: Model Helicopter Speed Flying Association

11 Method 1: Direct actuation of a timing trigger by a trigger judge at either of the two course timing stations in the case where a single chronometer style system is used. Method 2: Direct actuation of a stopwatch by one of two timekeepers at the scoring station upon perception of a trigger event that results from one of the two trigger judges at the timing stations performing a trigger action. The trigger actions are most typically waving a flag or flashing a light when the model is perceived to have crossed the course boundary Timing Devices Time measurement shall be accomplished by timing devices approved by MHSFA. If electronic stopwatches are used, timekeeping must be performed simultaneously by two timekeepers utilizing devices capable of indicating time to at least 1/100 of a second (10 milliseconds). Automated and other electronic timing devices which register a single time are allowed provided the system is approved by MHSFA Timing Uncertainty While there are multiple sources of error in any giving timekeeping system, for those methods that use a human in the loop (non automated timing systems), the largest source is the timekeepers reaction times to the visual/auditory stimulus of a trigger event. Typical human response times to anticipated visual and auditory stimuli can be up to 0.25 seconds (250 milliseconds). The effect of this response time on the resulting uncertainty included in the recorded time and computed speed is inversely proportional to the elapsed time in the course. In other words, as a model s elapsed time in the course decreases (speed increases), the uncertainty has a proportionally larger effect on the recorded time value and computed speed. A reasonable expectation for the magnitude of relative uncertainty in computed speed for non automated timing systems is 5 20% depending on the specific means by which the trigger events are being assessed. Even though this is considered a random error, the measurement uncertainty resulting from this can be minimized by ensuring consistency in timekeepers and/or trigger judges. The timekeepers and/or trigger judges should not be relocated or changed during the event, as this will introduce different error magnitudes that were not present during previously timed rounds. While humans in the loop will always add uncertainty to the final times and computed speeds, with a consistent timekeeping team, the uncertainty is incurred as a fixed bias rather than a truly random error. Thus, maintaining a consistent timekeeping team allows us to consider the uncertainty incurred by human reaction times as a systematic error because a person will tend to react consistently to the same stimulus. For example, if the left Model Helicopter Speed Flying Association

12 trigger judge always reacts too soon and clicks the trigger before the model crosses the course boundary and the right trigger judge always reacts too late and clicks the trigger after the model crosses the course boundary, then the following can be inferred: a. All left pass times will be higher than reality (slower speeds). b. All right pass time will be lower than reality (faster speeds). c. All left and right passes will be timed consistently and have a fixed bias or systematic error from reality that is represented by the sum of the trigger judges individual reaction times in combination with the timing instrument accuracy. While non automated time measurements and computed speeds will always suffer from inclusion of human reaction time errors, utilizing a consistent timekeeping team during an event will ensure that the precision (repeatability or reproducibility) of the measurements is maximized even in absence of high accuracy (proximity to the true value). This high precision is the key characteristic that any timekeeping method must have if results are to be compared for the purpose of ranking Recording Recording of times for each pilot shall be performed either electronically or on paper. All runs for each pilot shall have a time assigned to them with the only exception being when a run is called as null by the contest director. Each time shall be recorded to a minimum of 1/100 of a second (10 milliseconds) precision Computing Speed Once times are recorded for each pilot, the scorekeeper shall, as a minimum, identify the best left and the best right time for each pilot for use in computing the speeds. To compute the official average speed for each pilot, the following equation shall be used, where course length is in meters and time is in seconds: v avg = 7.2 L course t + t ( max,l max,r) v avg = L course t + t ( max,l max,r) in kilometers/hour in miles/hour 6.6. Final Scoring Report Upon completion of computing all pilots official average speeds, the contest director shall provide a copy of this documentation to MHSFA for use in maintaining attendance and pilot performance records. 7. Officials Roles and Responsibilities Model Helicopter Speed Flying Association

13 7.1. Contest Director An individual who is responsible for ensuring all aspects of the event are executed properly. This includes, but is not limited to, organization of the officials and pilots, establishment and maintenance of the event schedule, coordination of setup, maintenance, and tear down of the course, execution of pilots meetings, and ensuring the safety of all officials, pilots, and spectators is maintained at all times Timekeeper An individual who operates one of two or more stopwatches used for official timekeeping during an event when timekeeping method 2 is used. The minimum number of timekeepers shall be two when method 2 is used; however, when using method 1, the timekeepers are replaced by trigger judges, which are synonymous roles Scorekeeper An individual who records the measured times throughout the event regardless of timekeeping method. The minimum quantity of scorekeepers shall be one for method 1 and two for method Trigger Judge An individual who either A) actuates the trigger to start or stop the the timing equipment when using timekeeping method 1 or B) performs a trigger action upon perception of the visual/auditory stimulus of the model crossing the course boundary when using timekeeping method 2. The minimum number of trigger judges is two regardless of the method used; however, when method 2 is used, the trigger judges signals to the timekeepers whereas when method 1 is used, the trigger judges replace the timekeepers, as stated above Pre stage Judge An individual who assesses both the model s point of entry into the pre stage and the altitude of the model throughout the pre stage. Assuming the event is running expert level pilots, the minimum number of pre stage judges shall be two regardless of method used Pit Boss An individual who manages the pace of the event and determines pilot flight order. The minimum number of pit bosses shall be one; however, this role may also be filled by the contest director Inspector An individual who performs technical and safety inspections on models. The minimum number of inspectors shall be one; however, MHSFA recommends having a minimum pilot to inspector ratio of 5:1 to prevent schedule delays. The contest director and pit boss may also act as inspectors if needed. Model Helicopter Speed Flying Association
