According to the VFW, which holds
many meets involving its model
plane clubs and others, timing in
the very heart and essense of fair
competition. The length of flight,
as recorded by a stop watch, de
termine the judges’ award of tro
phies and grand championships.
Victory Can Be Narrow.
Championships sometimes hinges
on "tenths of a second,” so an ac
curate reading and recording of
each contestant's flight time is of
utmost importance. The time is
measured in minutes, seconds and
fifths of seconds.
All official timing starts the in
stant a contestant's plane is re
leased for take-off from th'e ground
or hand. The flight tiimng termi
nates when the plane is either
“down” or “out of sight.” Timers
must not be influenced by specta
tors who say they still see the plane,
after it has disappeared from the
timer's view.
A plane may fly out of sight di
rectly over the airport. Although it
is still airborne the official time of
flight stops when the airplane dis
appears from the timer’s vision. The
use of field glasses is not permitted.
10-Second Leeway.
When a plane disappears from
new behind trees or into the clouds
[timers give the plane 10 seconds to
reappear. If it' fails to show up
within this period the timer stops
his watch and records the watch
minus 10 seconds.
_ The timers for the National Capi
tal Show are well versed In their
jobs having acted in such capacities
many times before.
Benrus watches have been named
