Speed 400: The Speed 400 event will be flown in accordance with the SAM 2015 Rules With the addition that motor runs will also be 120 seconds and 10 min max. 5. Speed 400 Scale: The rules are: A. Model shall be a replica of a reciprocating engine powered, man carrying airplane of pre-1950 vintage. Powered sailplanes are not acceptable. B. Although models are not judged for scale, a reasonable effort should be made to simulate realistic coloring and markings. Model to be balsa/plywood construction. Foam may be used for detail only. A plan or 3 view may be needed for confirmation. C. There is a 16 oz. minimum weight requirement. There is no wing loading specification. D. Thrust will be provided by a non-folding, non-metal propeller of any size driven directly (i.e., no reduction drives) by a Graupner Speed 400 6-volt or a Maxx Products Promax Speed 400 6.0v part # ACC341 permanent magnet ferrite motor without ball bearings. After purchase, motor timing adjustments are allowed. To prevent damage to the motor, folding propellers may be used provided they are locked in the fixed position for normal flight. E.

The power to the motor must be radio controlled but may be on/off or ESC. G. Flights may be hand launched with the landing area determined by field rules. H. The motor may be run only during the first 120 seconds of the flight. Any running of the motor afterwards results in a zero score for that flight. This time may be changed at the discretion of the CD. I. The model s score is the sum of the best two of three flights (10 minute max). In the event of more than one competitor achieving two maximum flights, at the CD s discretion, the winner may be determined by a flyoff. 6. FAA Requirements.
