Pan American Open 2010
Team and Individual Free Flight Contest and Championship
February 10, 2010; Lost Hills, California
The Pan American Open is both an individual and team event; open to all participants regardless of nationality, and any self formed team, regardless of the nationality of the members. It is both an open contest and will serve as a Pan American Championships for any team or participant from the Americas, North or South.
Teams must be entered prior to the start of the contest, and are to be self arranged by the competitors themselves. They are encouraged to be nationally/legal residency based, and there is no limit on the number of teams from any one country. Mixed nationality teams are also permitted. Again, the composition of the teams is entirely up to the contestants – particularly in cases where you have multiple teams from the same nations. As examples, you could have teams based on the home states of their members – Team USA (California) and Team USA (New York). Alternately, you can form teams based on some larger region; Mixed Team (Scandinavia), or teams based on no affiliation at all: Team (Boris, Mario, & Pierre), etc...
The non-American or mixed teams are eligible for the team contest awards, but only teams from the Americas and purely based on national lines can win the Pan American Team Championship. It should be noted that a mixed American team could not win the title, as it does not represent a unique Pan American nation. For the purposes of the Pan American Championship, only the national composition of the teams is important, not how the team was composed. As multiple teams are allowed from the same nation, everyone will have a chance to form a team and compete.
Individual participants, both American and foreign, could also always join the contest without a team affiliation and only compete for the individual awards.
Expected Sunrise: 6.17AM

First Round Max, conditions permitting

1) Medals will be awarded for the top three contestants in each class, and the top three teams in each class, regardless of nationality.
2) A separate award will be given to the top North or South American individual and team in each class, along with the title of Pan American Champion.
3) Certificates of participation will be given to all contestants.
4) A separate award will be given to the F1A flyer who can demonstrate (through an altimeter) the highest altitude achieved during launch (i.e. “bunting”).
The entry fee for all classes and participants is $30 USD per person. This fee is waived for all junior participants, who can participate at no charge.
There is no additional entry fee for teams, so everyone is encouraged to form into teams and compete for the team awards. Fees must be paid prior to the start of the contest.
To register, a contestant must fill out the required INDIVIDUAL registration form and pay the required fee. For the convenience of the participants we will accept payment up to the date of the contest, but we strongly encourage and would appreciate registration in advance.
To register a team, one member of the team must submit the required TEAM REGISTRATION form, indicating the names of all team members and nationalities. There is no fee for team registration.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
- Using motorcycles to affect the flight of the model in any way will not be permitted.
- All Competitors must be members of the Lost Hills Free Flight Association
- All scorecards must be submitted by each participant to the scorekeeper by the end of each round.

competition / record trials in March or April 2010.
Approval is still pending.
An opportunity for a small group to have a record
trials on November 23 and perhaps November 24
( just before Thanksgiving ) has come up.
This event could be cancelled if a paying customer
rents the facility. There is risk but it looks good for now.
There are two slots available.
Also let us know if you are interested in attending the
proposed Mar/Apr 2010 event so that we can plan.
