(15-th February 2006 - I hope, all mistake in old text are improved now)

These modifications have been adopted by the old F5J-F15 rules from year 2005 and will be used during year 2006 for F5J-15 "man o man" competitions (Private League Piestany)* and RIVA-net competitions F5J-15*.
*/ look calendar of F5 competitions for year 2006

Basic principle of the rules:

1 - Working time (window for climb and gliding) 15 minutes
2 - Motor window 5 minutes.
3 - Any type of motor allowed
4 - No limit on motor run time into the motor window
5 - No limit on number and type of cells, all types (NiCd, NiMH, LiIon, LiPol...) are allowed ,
6 - Flying task - as long as possible flying time in the working time*
7 - Bonus for precision landing**
8 - Penalty for duration of motor runing time in dependence on "imput tension handicap"

*/ one point per second of gliding
**/ 30 points for landing into circle with diameter 15 feet, 15 points into circle with diameter 30 feet

For scoring we measure:

F - flying time of the model from start to landing
M - motor running time
L - distance of the model from landing point

For scoring we must find out:

V = total voltage of power pack (count of cells multiplyed to nominal voltage of cell)
C = capacity of power pack (nominal capacity of cells)

... then we can calculate "pack content" ( p = pack content = C x V )
... use "standard pack content" ( P = arranged typical value)*
... and calculate handicap factor ( H = handicap factor = p/P )

* If we have agreed as "typical 7 cells pack" with NiXX (8,4V) with 1,6-2,0 Ah capacity (1,8 on average), then value of will be P= 8,4x 1,8 = 15,12 Wh , or - simplified P = 15 Wh . Similar "typical 10 cells pack" can have 1,25 Ah capacity (e.g. Sanyo 1250). This pack will have P = 12 x 1,25 = 15 Wh.

For interpretation of all data we can use following formula:

R = F + L - M x H

R = result in round (points)

F= flying time from start to landing (second=point)
L = poits for precise landing (points)
M = motor running time (second=point)
H = handicap factor

or

R = F + L- M x C x V/15

For interpretation of all data you can use simple EXCEL computing table:
(formula for Excel column G is following)

column G = column C + column D - column B x column E x column F/15

(excel column A)	(excel col. B)	(excel col. C)	(excel col. D)	(excel col. E)	(excel col. F)	(excel col. G)
competitor	motor run	flying time	landing points	capacity	voltage	RESULT
NAME	insert M	insert F	insert L	insert C	insert V	...see result...

Normalized score for member of group - as usual - 1000 points for best result...
