Flight Endurance (HS)

Event Deadlines & Information

MARCH 24, 2021

This is a change!

Students will submit their portfolio and 2 videos by 11:00 am on March 25.

STUDENTS DO NOT HAVE TO CREATE A FLIGHT BOX THIS YEAR

The first video is a competition flight video, using your best flight. The video must be a continuous video, with a visible timer running in the video.

The second video needs to be a visual demonstration that your plane meets all of the size and weight requirements in the event guide. This includes propeller diameter, fuselage dimension with prop assembly attached, and motor weight.

Obviously, it would work better if you can conduct your flight in an interior space, such as a gym or other large structure. If you (as a student) do not have access to a gym or large structure at your school, find out if your advisor has access, and could launch your plane and video it for you.

If that isn’t an option, you could check with local convention centers, warehouses, or other entities in your local area who might let you fly. Washington TSA does not make any recommendations for who you should contact. These are simply suggestions.
