RULES AND PROCEDURES

This is a fun fly-in so our rules are few and far between. We don’t have classes for novice, expert, etc. We’re all in the same boat.

Our categories are the Largest kite flown, Smallest kite flown, Best home-made kite flown, Prettiest kite flown, Highest kite, Most spectacular Crash and Best Kite flown by a Squadron Commander. There will be a separate competition for 14 and younger for the first kite up after the starting signal for this competition.

There will be a group of eight judges, two from each above Squadron, and the judges’ decisions are final.
