I’m pleased to announce that the SlopeAerobatics.com Video Contest is back for 2011! This contest is open to anyone from anywhere, worldwide – we want to see the best slope aerobatics flying the world has to offer!
As in 2007 and 2008, there will be prizes for the top finishers – details forthcoming!
Rules are simple:
1. Post a short video (3 minutes maximum) of your VERY BEST slope aerobatics footage as a reply to the official 2011 SlopeAerobatics.com Video Contest thread on RCGroups.com. You don’t have a lot of time, so cut, chop, slice, winnow, bansai and chisel your footage till you have the cream of the crop, best of the best, “Top Gun” footage, and then post that.
2. As needed, you are allowed to change your entry up until the deadline, but only one entry per person. “Person” being defined as the person posting the video, which may or may not be the same person (or persons) that are flying in the video.
3. Any kind of non-motorized glider is welcome.
4. All submissions must be posted to the official thread by no later than midnight Pacific time November 1, 2011.
5. Winners will be chosen by the readership of RCGroups.com, who will vote for their favorite videos in a voting thread setup for the purpose. Prizes will be awarded to top finishers, those details are being worked out and will be posted here once they are available.
Deadline for entries is November 1st, 2011 at Midnight Pacific
Can’t wait – this year should be the BEST EVER!!
Second International Slope Soaring Contest – Demonstration from Michael Legg on Vimeo.
Ian Cole of Australia is running the second installment of his International Slope Soaring Contest for Disciplined & Freestyle Slope Aerobatics. Looks very cool! He’s got full instructions on his site concerning the requirements, but the summary is that you submit a couple videos, one of you flying a set of predefined figures, the other with a freestyle routine of your own making. Demonstration video is above. Good luck entrants, and thank you Ian for putting this contest on!

The videos will be voted for on RCGroups and the top three finishers get prizes and will have their videos featured on SlopeAerobatics.com!
