CCMAC Christopher Columbus Park Flying Site

VSC 22    MARCH 16 - 20, 2010 (FIVE DAYS) CONTEST INFORMATION

This is the map to Christopher Columbus Park located North of Grand Rd. on Silverbell. You can get to Silverbell by either Camino Del Cerro or Grant Rd. Christopher Columbus Park is the is the Contest Site for the Vingage Stunt Championships (VSC).

At VSC 22 Classic Stunt will be flow over three (3) days using all three asphalt circles. We started this format with VSC 21. Classic will be contested Thursday March 18th - Saturday March 20th. One flight each day with the pilots moving to a different circle each day. The two highest scores for the three days of competition will be added together for the finnal score and placings.

Pull Test and line size for Old Time and Classic Stunt will be per the 2009 - 2010 AMA rules for Control Line Precision Aerobatics. Scoring for Classic will be per the 2007 - 2008 AMA rules for Control Liine Precision Aerobatics. This means that pattern points will be included in the scoring.

Two new awards are being added starting with VSC 22. They are the 'Best Appearing Bob Palmer Design' and 'The VSC Eagle'. The Palmer award is for the best appearing Bob Palmer designed plane used in competition at VSC 22. By clicking on the Blue Box below (The VSC Eagle) the link provides a full description of what this award is all about. All competitors are eligible to win this award.

We are adding the following additional ruling: No more than two contestants can fly the same plane in the same event. Example: Contestant 'X' and contestant 'Y' can fly the same plane in Classic but no one else. This goes for OTS and OTS Ign as well. Even though in the 21 year history of VSC there has not been a time that more than two contestants have flown the same plane, it is now time to make this official.

OTS Stunt will be contested Tuesday March 16th - Wednesday March 17th on two asphalt circles. OTS Ingition will be contested Tuesday March 16th - Wednesday March 17th on Grass. Pilots meeting for OTS and OTS Ignition is 7:30AM. Official flying starts no later than 8:00AM.

The Cholla Choppers and the Central Arizona Control Line Club (see logos below) together run and manage VSC. March 16th thru 20th, 2010 will be the 22nd running of the Vintage Stunt Championships.

The MAP to the left can be printed directly to a Printer. Right click on the MAP, click on Print Picture, select the Printer, and click Print. This will provide a full page printout of the map which will be easier to read. The banquet location is unchanging for 2010. The VSC banquet will take place at the RiverPark Inn located at I-10 and 22nd Street (See Map). The freeway construction is compleded so it will be much easier to get to the contest site and the Riverpark Inn or other place that you might be staying at.

If you have attended VSC during the past few years, you will be receiving in the mail (by the last week in October, 2009) the VSC XXII flyer, your own personal copy so to speak. It acts as a reminder and gets you thinking about VSC 22. Again pre-registration is required so please read the instructions on the flyer when it comes out carefully. I highly recommend that you place the flyer in plain sight (like the fridge) so you do not forget about sending in the registration portion of the flyer.

A place for your E:Mail address is provided for you to fill in if you have one. Jim Hoffman will use it to send you conformation that your entry fees have been received.

All contestants entering VSC 22 are required to sign the entry form where indicated. Please do not forget to do this.

Contestants who will be camping and spending nights in Christopher Columbus Park will need to provide the State and License Number on the RV, Camper, ETC. A place for this information is provided on the entry form. We need this information to give to Parks and Rec. so that the authorities do not ask you to leave at a late evening hour.
