The
2011 Polecat/Soaring Circuits ALES
contest
in Carlisle, PA was a huge success! With
27 registered pilots, the altitude limited electric soaring (ALES)
format continues to grow. We had
contestants from 8 different states and even Canada competing this year. Along
with a great weekend of competitive
flying, we also had great hot lunches each day and a BBQ feast right at
the field Saturday night! About half a
dozen first timers participated and every one said they’d be
back
in 2012. Next year
we’re shooting
for 40+ pilots, so c’mon out and see why this is the largest
electric soaring event in the US!

CAM
Competition
Altimeter
for Models
Designed
for the new 200m altitude limited electric soaring (ALES) format, the
CAM is small, light, and easy to install. Just plug it in
between
your receiver and ESC. That's it! The CAM
automatically
shuts your motor down at 200 meters or after 30 seconds per the
emerging ALES rules. This new competition format promises to
put
the "soaring" back into electric sailplane contests. Even
inexpensive RTF models can compete!
The CAM has selectable cutoff altitudes of 100m, 150m and 200m, and
does not require a computer to program or use. You can easily
change the cutoff right at the field. With the CAM you can
make
multiple climbs to cutoff without having to land. Great for
practicing! And, the CAM is designed, built and supported
right
here in the USA.
Now
available in the standard 100m/150m/200m version, a 50m/100m/200m
version, and an f3i/f3q version for aerotowing!
