C Helicopter Duration (Multi round)

 

Overview of Rules:

Helicopters go up like rockets and spin down as slowly as possible. In the multi-round event, the goal is to make 3 flights with 2 models, all over the 4 minute max time. If there are ties, you'll be able to use a third model for the final flyoff round, per Pinkbook rule 15.12.2

Tips for Beginners:

Like any duration event, consistency is key. After you can consistently deploy your helicopter model's blades, you'll need to worry about finding thermals. Of course, getting a model back to make a third flight is also important.
