About the Viagra Cup …
The 2025 Viagra Cup competition runs from January through to November. The objective is to achieve the longest flight from a single engine run.
The contest is open to all club members with any aircraft and it runs continuously through the year not just during BBQs. Every flight can be an entry and you can enter as many times as you want. There are 3 classes (1) gliders, (2) powered aircraft (except Tomboys) and (3) Tomboys. You can also enter in more than 1 class. You can find the rules here (you will have to log in to read them).
Send your results to the competition director (currently the secretary@namadgisfc.org.au) and they will be published throughout the year on the forum and in the newsletter with the final results announced at the club’s Christmas BBQ in December.

Email the secretary if you have any questions about the comp or ask them in the comments below …
Is the limit of 20 seconds or 1500 feet AGL a “whichever comes first ” rule? An extremely powerfull model could theorectically reach 1500 feet in less than 20 seconds.
The current height limit at Tharwa is 400ft AGL but yes it is a 20 sec motor run or the maximum permitted flying height at the time of the flight whichever comes first.
If the Viagra Cup is a glider contest, I question the inclusion of an ICE at idle. There are models that at idle have propulsive force which assists with airflow over the wing.
There are 3 classes for the Viagra Cup comp this year. You can checkout the rules on the Viagra Cup Competition rules page https://namadgisfc.org.au/for-members/viagra-cup-comp/
