NZ Rules

There are four pattern classes flown in NZ. Clubman is for those starting out (a 40 size low wing model is ideal) – this is flown to a local set of New Zealand rules. Then you can progress to Expert, and finally Masters and F3A which are flown to an international set of rules. The Clubman schedule is not difficult, but is a challenge to fly well. Come and have a go!

NZ Clubman Score Sheet – want to run clubman as an event at your local club ? use this old style score sheet. Print some off, and chop them down the middle. It has the K Factors so you can calculate the scores manually. Some clipboards and a few pens is all you need. 

Changes to Clubman !!

In 2022 the Committee have published a new sequence to make Clubman more accessible to club pilots that are capable of doing loops and rolls. We’ve dropped the tricky double stall turn, removed the scary outside loop, and toasted the 3 turn spin. After a few revisions, we have the new sequence all sorted out. Thanks to all those involved with their efforts. Be sure to download the latest copy from the links above. The new schedule is designed in a way that we hope you can come and have a go, even having done zero practice, and still safely get through the sequence. A sport model, a foamy, even high wing trainer will be able to get through this schedule now.

Plus to try an entice you to have a go, we are doing another challenge. Loop Roll and .. Win a Chocolate Fish !! That’s right, we really want club guys to give it a go. So we are handing out chocolate fish now if you come to an event and have a go. NICE !!

If you are a newbie, it’s still worth reading the old Clubman Guide – even though the new sequence is slightly different. Lots of handy tips in there, and we will get that guide updated soon too. But don’t get confused – the sequence is different now from 2022 onwards !! Best spend a few minutes watching the videos of the new sequence maneuvers.
