- 56.1 Purpose
-
Concept Sport Scale Competition is a variation of Sport Scale. The purpose of this competition is to produce a flying replica of
either a fictional or a seriously proposed, but unflown rocket vehicle that differs from Sport Scale Competition
(Rule 53)
only in the nature of the prototype and substantiation data.
- 56.2 Exclusions
-
Subjects excluded from this event:
- Vehicles from unpublished fiction and amateur films
- Science fiction or futuristic designs published by model rocketry manufacturers, publications, or organizations
specifically for flying model construction
- Science fiction themed rocket kits that do not appear in actual works of science fiction or rockets in generic
science fiction illustrations
- Generic illustrations of a class of proposed vehicle rather than a specific program
- Real prototypes that appeared in science fiction, unless so modified that they could not be flown in Sport Scale
- Amateur rockets and missiles, except when the prototype is of obvious historical significance
- 56.3 Plastic Models
-
Entries that qualify for Plastic Model Conversion Competition under Rule 55 are specifically excluded from this event.
- 56.4 Substantiation Data
-
As with Sport Scale, the contestant must supply data to substantiate the model’s adherence to scale in shape, color, and paint
pattern. Data must derive from the work of science fiction or from a published serious proposal. A serious proposal is one by
an established aerospace professional, institution or company.
-
For fictional prototypes, photos and art extracted from the work of science fiction, or from advertising or publicity for the
work are acceptable. Photos and drawings of props used in filming of works of science fiction are acceptable. If the original
work did not depict the vehicle in color, colors of contemporary vehicles may be used to suggest a scheme consistent with
the original work.
-
For proposal prototypes, photos and drawings of models produced by the proposing companies or institutions are acceptable.
If color or markings data is not available, the modeler may document markings for a similar design proposed or flown in the
same era. Drawings or photographs depicting flying model kits are not adequate.
- 56.5 Scoring
-
Scoring is the same as in the Sport Scale (Rule 53) event.
- 56.5.1 Similarity of Outline: 200 points
- 56.5.2 Finish, Color, and Markings: 200 points
- 56.5.3 Degree of Difficulty: 100 points
- 56.5.4 Craftsmanship: 300 points
- 53.13.1 Flight Characteristics: Mission: 200 points
- 53.13.2 Flight Characteristics: General Flight: 100 points
- 56.6 Flight
-
Each entry shall make a safe, stable flight. If the entry does not make a safe, stable flight, the entry shall be disqualified.
- 56.7 Weighting Factor
-
Weighting factor is the same as in the Sport Scale event.
