VSM is not taking place as usual day contest with thermal picking to fly a Max, where you have to drive to a World Cup far away to a flying field to compare with the best, but in VSM everybody decide individually, when, where and how often he fly in the morning straight after the sunrise in dead air without thermal assistance, to measure only glide performance of your model and in case of available altimeter, also the glide rate. VSM will be a self running contest with online registration and online results/ data entering and can be flown several times between July, 1st 2014 and June, 30th 2015. More details you find under www.vsmsunrise.org or on Facebook.

You go out alone or with friends together with a timekeeper at any morning to any fled field and make 5 (minimum 4) unlimited flights in dead calm air to the ground beginning at sunrise until latest 2 hours after sunrise. Also special sunrise contests are possible and can be offered separate or the day before / after other contests.
-
The flight with the highest and the lowest time will be cancelled
-
the average of the remaining 3 flights will be calculated as final result
-
in case of only 4 flights, the not flown flight will be cancelled as 0 of lowest time
