CREATIVE EVENTS

Entry level designed for people with a scale aerobatic model to give racing a go without having to purchase new equipment or learn race craft with an unfamiliar model. Experienced racers also use this as a secondary class and they offer plenty of help for first time racers.

First time racers may be exempt from certain rules at the discretion of the Contest Director to encourage new pilots to participate. Contact us if you have an aircraft that may not meet all of the rules and are interested in having a go.
