General Rules:
1. The participants are required to bring their complete kits to IIT Kharagpur.
2. A pair of receiver and transmitter (Rx and Tx) will be provided by organizers, on prior request of the participants. The Tx-Rx pair has 4 or 6 channels. It can be used to control a maximum of 3 servo motors. Participants who wish to use Rx and Tx provided by us, will have to make provision for this receiver on their aircrafts. The participants can bring their own set of receiver and transmitter if they want.
3. All teams must be present before the commencement of the event. Teams will be disqualified if they do not turn up during the slot allotted to them.

9. Judges’ decisions on any matter will be considered final. 10. The participants need to send the video and pictures of their model by 4th January 2012 to the undersigned head keeping the subject as “LOM_Team Id”.
AIRCRAFT SPECIFICATION
1. An aircraft (model) is defined as a powered aircraft if it experiences exactly 4 forces during flight, namely lift, drag and weight (due to gravity) and thrust. Note: Parachutes and Para aircrafts do not qualify as aircrafts since they do not have lift. Also airships which contain gases lighter than air are not considered as aircrafts and hence will not be allowed.
2. Although there are no constraints on size and weight of the aircraft, it is advisable to keep the wingspan less than 1.75 meter and weight less than 900 grams.
3. The aircraft should be motor powered. Use of IC (Internal combustion) engine is not allowed.
ARENA (Refer to arena layout)
1. The aircraft is to be flight tested in an open field.
2. The runway is of a total length of 18m and width of 2m.
3. The qualification line is 7m from the end of the runway. The aircraft has to cross this line to get the points for take-off.
There will be a spot X in the middle of the runway.
Landing Zone for the first round is a circle of 9m radius from centre marked as X.
For QUALIFICATION ROUND, there will be two poles to mark the turning points. The distance between the two poles will be 60m along length of arena and 40 m along width of arena.
For FINAL ROUND, there will be a square ring of dimension 3*3 m at height of 5m . Ring will be 60 m away from the landing zone as indicated in layout.
4. To give the participants an idea of wind conditions at the venue, a windsock will be mounted in the arena. The competition will be in an open area and there might be some variations in wind conditions.
OTHER PARAMETERS:
1. Number of aircrafts per team is not fixed. A team can field more than one aircraft.
2. Size and weight of the aircraft is not restricted.
3. Participant will be allowed for a maximum of 2 runs. Best of the 2 runs will be considered for the final score. The runs would not be consecutive and the participants will be given time to make any small changes to the aircraft if required.
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA:
1. The entries are restricted to the student currently pursuing education in a recognized institute.
2. The participants may be asked to furnish supporting documents at any later stage to prove the aforementioned condition.
3. Students from different colleges can form a single team.
4. Each team can contain a maximum of five participants.
