maybe they did realize the World was waiting.

Reading your al-te-meter and the other one too.
From:Allard

On altimeters,

Sporting code F1.1.4 reads:

vi) For all competitors attaining the maximum flight time, the altitude of the model at the
maximum flight time is read from the altimeter referenced to a zero altitude defined by the altitude during the 10 seconds before launch of the model (for F1A before the helper releases the model from the ground and for F1C before starting the motor). For scoring purposes the altitude is rounded to the nearest metre.

Ground level prior to release of the model MUST therefore be recorded and shown in the graph. Absence of this part of the graph is outside of altimeter fly off requirements and hence yields no result.

Automatic launch and landing detection are outside the rules. It is an ergonomic aid, but by no means official. Manual verification is therefore mandatory.

Editor s Observation

Thanks Allard for explaining that.

Seems like the Sporting Code needs an upgrade here. The work done by the Neurons and All-Tee on measuring the flight time is more accurate than trying to read a graph on a phone screen and faster for jury. It also makes automated recording and reporting possible. We need to benefit from our experience.
