RC Helicopters & RC Flying
Maneuver-based scoring, flight and static rounds, and the outdoor realities of a flying event.
Flying events score individual maneuvers with difficulty factors, often split across flight and static rounds — and they happen outdoors, where connectivity is your biggest wildcard.
What's different here
- Scoring is maneuver-by-maneuver, each with a difficulty coefficient (K-factor).
- You may run separate flight and static (model detail) rounds.
- Safety lines and judge positioning matter and should be set before flying.
Before event day
- Maneuver list and K-factors are entered and match your rulebook.
- You've tested connectivity at the flight line.
- Judges know their positions and the safety line.
