Registration fees
Registration fees for each flight category are

incomplete data)
Every participant con apply for different categories but cannot submit more than one model for each category (e. g.: twice: Gliders).
Participation
All model-aircraft enthusiasts applying for admittance to the Fassa Valley Euromeeting are requested to posses, the following documents:
- insurance-policy covering also the duration of competitions
and events.
- radio-control licence
Frequencies
The Frequences used by the Italian model aircraft enthusiasts are those of the radio control devices traded in Europe 27, 35, 40 72 Mhz
Aerobatic Manoevres
The acrobatic program “Flying is Fun - Val di Fassa,,
that the Competition Manager proposes to participants is merely a suggestion
and is not compulsory.
Competitors are therefore free to perform whatever type of flying is most suitable for them.
CLASSIFICATION: GLOBAL System Euromeeting FLIGHT PERFORMANCE
Before the flights, each competitor will be given a small GSE - Global System Euromeeting data detector, supplied by the “Competition Officials” and weighing approx. 80 g. Competitors will insert this device into their models so that it can detect various data during the flight; after landing, these data will be transferred to the competition officials’ personal computer.
The data automatically stored on the GPS during the permitted time of 15 minutes will give 7 electronically ascertained assessment parameters:
| Assessment parameters | points |
| Max. height (compared to the take-off point: altitude = 0) | 1000 |
| Max. distance (between two points on a horizontal plane) | 1000 |
| Max. gain in altitude (between the min. and maximum heights reached) | 1000 |
| Max. speed (reached during the flight) | 1000 |
| Min. altitude (compared to the take-off point: altitude 0) | 1000 |
| Average speed (average speed during the flight) | 1000 |
| Max. distance (total flight distance from 'start' to 'stop') | 1000 |
| Maximum score = | 7000 |
The final classification will be drawn up assigning 1000 points to the best result for each assessment parameter reached during the day.
With regard to the best performance reached (e.g., maximum height reached during flight), each one will be awarded in proportion to the scores of the other competitors for that particular assessment parameter. The model reaching the greatest height on the day, e.g. 850 metres, compared to the 0 assigned to the take-off point, will be awarded 1000 points, while the model reaching a height of 450 metres, for example, will be awarded 500 points and models not taking off will receive 0 points.
The final classification will come from the sum of points awarded in the 6 evaluations.
The maximum possible score is 7000 points, but only in the specific case that a single model reaches maximum performance in each of the 8 evaluations made among all models flying on that day.
As a result of the use of the Global System Euromeeting:
- The values detected will no longer be subjective but objective, since they will have been electronically detected according to an international standard (GPS and relevant technology, which is improved continually).
- Each model flyer has a real possibility to find out the performance of his/her model with certainty, e.g., maximum speed, maximum height and distance travelled.
- The maximum score of 1000 is a score relevant to weather conditions on that particular day and to the models competing against one another; for this reason, it is fair to consider 1000 points for the best performance on the day.
- The formula using the GPS does not favour, for example, the assessment of the aesthetic quality of flight and landing, it above all awards performance.
PENALTIES
No flight shall be performed imprudently or negligently or in such a way as to endanger the life, safety and property of others. Offenders will be disqualified and fined € 50.00.
1) Applicants who fail to fill out all
items in the registration form (no item con be omitted) ore subject to
a € 50,00 penalty in addition to the registration fees.
2) The envelope containing the event material (competition number-band,
radio-control device sticker, declaration of responsibility, etc.) is
to be collected on Friday afternoon before the Euromeeting al the Hotel
Bellavista at Canazei. Participants who will collect it on Saturday or
Sunday during the event will be charged a € 50,00 penalty.
3) A € 50,00 penalty will ensue for each request concerning a modification
in the flight-category or radio-frequency submitted to the Organizing
Board later than July 20th or on the flying ground.
