Southern Fried Combat at the Dixie Nationals is being held for the fifth consecutive year at the Georgia Model Aviators (www.gmarc.com) flying field in the north Atlanta suburb of Cumming, Georgia.
We will be flying Scale 2548 on Friday beginning at 1pm, followed by the first three rounds of electric. On Saturday is Slow and Survivable Combat or SSC, followed by three more rounds of Electric and Sunday is all Open B.
For the first time ever this year there will be eCombat. The contest is May 27th, 28th and 29th with electric combat being flown late in the day Friday and Saturday. Radio Control Combat Association scoring will be used and the rules for airplanes are pretty simple:
- Maximum of 2 cells or 7.4 volts
- Maximum wingspan of 32". GWS and Alpha models WWII fighters are allowed with their full wingspans
- Model should resemble a recognizable WWII fighter and have national markings or insignias.
More information on the rules may be found at either www.georgiacombat.com or www.rccombat.com. If you wish to sign up to compete or to see who is competing click on the contest calendar on the front page or the RCCA web site and scroll down to the Dixie Nationals.
The great thing about combat is that everyone helps everyone else get in the air and fly. Experts are constantly helping rookies with their equipment or coaching them in a match. Everyone wants everyone else to get in the air and fly.
There will be six (or more) airplanes up in each heat and there will be at least six full rounds of combat over Saturday and Sunday.
Hope to see ya'll there.
