And the next event is the free performance, <>.

This is scored by all the spectators, and each spectator has 100 points / number of spectators. If there are 200 spectators, it means 0.5 points.

Since scoring with a decimal point is cumbersome, we actually ask the audience to score on a 10-point scale and divide it by 10 multiplied by the number of spectators when tallying the scores.

Marikka is being reckless, Jin thought to himself,

(No, she might have said, "By all means, since it's <> that's why she's running for the position.)

He guessed almost the correct answer.

Then, the started. Each participant has 3 minutes, but a few seconds of back and forth will be tolerated.

The reason for this is that the speed of flight differs depending on the model.

! >>

<

And <> took off.

After a smooth takeoff, it started to turn to the right.

One orbit, two orbits...... spirals and gently ascends.

After five laps, the plane reached an altitude of about 30 meters and leveled off.

From there, the plane made a steep 90-degree descent.

The aircraft gains speed rapidly, and when it is about 5 meters off the ground, it is triggered to return to level flight.

"Oh, wow!"

The audience cheered as well.

Halcyon continued to fly horizontally, and then began to climb vertically.

Zion noticed the intention.

>

>

After returning to its original altitude, Number 1 < turns to the left this time. It makes a loose spiral to lower its altitude.

After five laps, it drops to an altitude of about 5 meters and then flies horizontally.

From there, he begins a somersault.

At the apex of the somersault, the airliner begins a reverse somersault.

"This is ......."

Jin couldn't help but exclaim.

Yes, Natalia had done a figure-eight somersault.

>

After the reverse somersault, Natalia completes the figure 8 by doing another 180-degree forward somersault. The audience applauded and cheered loudly.

The figure-eight was completed again with a right turn. Then a left turn. I thought it was a figure eight, but .......

<>

<>! >>

<<>. It is one of the flight patterns that is performed in wired planes, called U-control, rather than in radio-controlled planes. However, the attitude of the plane is completely different because it is wired.

> and <>!　You have thought this through!!! >>

Theon has seen through the combination of Natalia's performance and her intentions.

Then Natalia's landed slowly after the four-leaf clover.

The audience gave her another round of applause.

* * * * *

By the way, such scoring is easily influenced by impressions, i.e., subjectivity.

Even if you think that the first act is impressive and the later acts are better than the previous ones, you cannot score more than 10 points.

Considering this, the recorded performances were replayed on the monitor after all the participants had finished their performances, and the scoring was done after watching the replay to ensure the fairness.

* * * * * * * * *

>Start! >>

<<<

The proper flight speed is very different between the trilobes and the retro wing planes. They also have the same performance.

Shu's < climbs steeply at an angle of about 70 degrees after takeoff. The speed of Shu's < is about twice as fast as that of Natalia's <.

A big somersault. One more in a row. And again.

Shu's somersault radius gets smaller with each repetition.

Zion mutters to himself as he watches the monitor from the air.

Shu, who had done his fifth somersault with a radius of about 5 meters, sent <> plummeting down. The angle was about 70 degrees.

Shu causes the <> to rise steeply, this time at an angle of about 5 meters above the ground. The angle is also 70 degrees.

At an altitude of about 30 meters, it suddenly descends.

In other words, it is flying in a zig-zag manner.

<

As Zion said, the scoring is subjective to the audience, so the degree of appeal is also a big factor.

In this sense, Natalia seemed to have made a better impression than Shu.

>

If biplanes and trilobes are slow planes, retractable wing and delta wing planes are fast planes. And elliptical and tapered wing planes are medium speed planes.

After takeoff, the number 3 aircraft climbs at an angle of about 30 degrees, and then leveled off at an altitude of about 10 meters.

It then performed a series of twists and turns called <>.

After that, he performed an Immelmann turn to raise the altitude to about 30 meters, and then did a series of three reverse somersaults from horizontal flight to downward.

Theon also commented on the performance.

The speed is moderate, so the behavior of the aircraft can be seen clearly.

Then, at the lowest point of the inverted somersault, the plane moves to horizontal flight. This means that the plane is flying on its back.

To fly backward with the upper half-angle is to fly in a more unstable position, and Eugene's technique is excellent in keeping the plane stable.

After doing a half reverse somersault and returning to level flight, he did a low level flight with a split-S and landed.

<<,take off! >>

The Zecken 4, also a medium speed plane, took off smoothly, and after a short level flight, it did a quick 90 degree somersault and climbed vertically.

At an altitude of about 30 meters, it did another quick 90-degree somersault and then leveled off. Then he did another quick 90-degree somersault and descended vertically.

But it was not to be.

At an altitude of about 10 meters, he did another crisp < somersault.

Then, after flying backward, he did a quick 90-degree reverse somersault and climbed vertically. At an altitude of about 30 meters, he did another quick 90-degree somersault.

At this point, we can see that Greiner is attempting to draw a pattern called a figure-eight.

<

After the figure-8, the number 4 starts the next move.

He did a roll (twist) while ascending vertically. It was just like a <.

The elliptical-wing airplane climbed to an altitude of about 50 meters, and then entered a large inverted somersault.

After completing the figure-8, the number 4 returns to the altitude of 50 meters and starts to descend vertically. Of course, he does rolls (twists).

The descent is like a drill, and the number 4 is triggered at an altitude of about 5 meters.

But...

>

Either he was going too fast, or he was just a little too late.

Number 4 lost too much altitude and hit the <>, at which point it was over.

By the way, just because the performance ended there, it does not mean that the competitor was disqualified, and the spectators will be able to score his performance.

>.

<>

It seems that slow planes have an advantage in this kind of performance to < to the audience.

Although the biplane of Shireen did not show any new pattern compared to the previous four planes, she performed a <> as well as a <> performance and received thunderous applause at the end of the competition.

>

<<

The number 6 shows a slightly slow flight.

However, he slowed down too much in order to <> and finished about two thirds of the way through his performance.

>

Again, the wings are fully extended.

The flight was a safe combination of somersaults, backflips, figure 8s, and so on.

>, takes off! >>

It is the second retro-wing aircraft. Like Shu, it has a high flying speed.

>

<

Then, she did an Immelmann turn from horizontal flight with a roll (twist), and a split S.

Vertical ascent from altitude, vertical descent, vertical ascent again, and vertical descent. This performance is very similar to the pattern called <> in radio controlled aircraft.

.

Overall, the performance made full use of speed.

<>

This is the third biplane (including the triplane).

He seemed to have tried to perform gracefully at low speeds, and managed to keep it all together without incident.

<<, take off now! >>

The fastest of the participating aircrafts, the .

Rubina takes advantage of these characteristics.

First, she performs 5 continuous somersaults. Then, 5 consecutive inverted somersaults. Then she did two figure-eight somersaults.

Because of the high speed, the trajectory of the figure-eight is visible as an afterimage, and one can clearly see the pattern being performed.

He also performed a square somersault with a roll (twist).

The rolls and twists were well worth watching.

Now it was Jin's turn.
