We start the year off with four practice contests. These will be flown as regular contests, but won't count toward club standings. These contests will fly the same classes as our monthly contests listed above.
May through November we hold regular club contests. Each will count toward club standings. We will fly the classes listed above. Entry fees are $5 for the contest. You can enter as many classes as you want. If you fly the same plane in more than one class, you must declare which class this flight is for before launching. Landing tasks will be determined by class.
If there is enough interest at a monthly contest, we will hold a concurrently flown limited motor run electric event as well.
The Howling Coyote Contest is our night fly contest and cookout. This is a members only event. It will count toward club standings.
Watts o' Fun is our electric contest. A variety of electric classes will be flown. This contest does not count toward club standings.
The Challenge Cup is flown against the Denver club (RMSA). This contest will count toward club standing if you fly on the PPSS team. The top PPSS pilot will get 1000 points and other PPSS pilots will be scored off that. This contest is not considered an out-of-town contest. It is considered one of our regular contests.
One out-of-town contest score for each class can be scored toward club standings. The contest must match one of our contest classes. Please send out-of-town contest scores to .
We fly using the AMA Radio Control Soaring Competition Regulations. Variations will be announced at the pilots meeting.
