CEF Reed Speed official video entries.

I was going to wait until the 31st to post this but with the crazy weather around the country I want to open the time window as much as possible.

To be eligible for prizes you must private message me your official video by midnight mountain time April 18. Video will include takeoff and landing. You are allowed to "whip" the model as much as needed to get it safely in the air and up to speed. When you are satisfied the engine has unloaded and your going max speed you will raise your hand over your head. The signal to start timing will be when you drop your hand. Timing begins the first time the model passes between the camera and the pilot, timing  will be for ten laps (1/2 mile).


Here's the sample video:



When you private message the video to me send the URL code only, that will look like this:

This will make it easier for me to send the videos to the judges.

Please don't send video until after you have posted your qualifying photo on this thread:

I have three judges. I will average the two closest times for your official time. In the event of a tie all three times will be averaged. Judges decisions will be final. If you want your times I will send them to you but I won't divulge which judge gave which time. All videos will be posted on the forum when winners are announced.

Who are these judges, you ask?
First up is Larry Renger, AMA hall of fame member and chief designer of the Black Widow, Killer Bee, and Venom.
Next up is our own Paul Gibeault, champion mouse racer and multiple control line speed record holder.
Third is Ted Kraver, a long time scale and navy carrier competitor who most recently ran for president of NASA (National Association of Scale Aeromodelers).

What are the prizes?
First, second, and third will each receive a fifty dollar gift certificate to Cox International. Thank you Bernie!
I will also add up and average all official times. The racer who comes closest to the average time without going over wins a Black Lynx engine graciously donated by Matt of Ex Model Engines. Thank you Matt!

Please feel free to post questions and comments on this thread.

Gentlemen, start your engines!!!
