🔍 What is the GPS Sport Class all about?

This discipline is a true test of flight efficiency and strategy. Unlike the Scale categories, the focus here is on pure performance over a triangular course defined by virtual GPS waypoints.

Key technical parameters of the race:

• Self-launch capability: Models take off using their own propulsion system, which increases independence and adds to the dynamic nature of the competition.
• Start parameters: Entry into the course is limited to a maximum altitude of 400 meters and a maximum entry speed of 120 km/h.
• Weight limit: The maximum permitted take-off weight (MTOW) for the aircraft is 7 kg.
• Time window: Pilots have a 30-minute flight slot to complete as many laps as possible.
