You can create your own triangle wherever you would like to fly.The results displayed are equivalent to a decentralised competition. They are automatically displayed in the overall ranking list. The five best flights of every participant from 1 January to 31 December are graded. Grading covers the five best distance flights on the one hand and also the five best speed flights of each participant.Only the distance flown and the average speed are taken into account in the grading. The results of all pilots taking part are shown in a daily, weekly, monthly and annual classification. The number of laps flown is then graded. In the event of an identical number of laps, the average speed is the deciding factor.
