When do we get to free spar?
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for the University of Conn...Basic sparring is emphasized during the first year or so of practice. Free sparring becomes more important for advanced students.

Related QuestionsQuestion: Can we put payload in the wing, such as in a hollow spar?
faqAnswer: For this year payload MAY NOT be carried internal to the wing. That does not prohibit the payload bay extending between the wing panels in the "wing carry over" area, as long as it is entirely inside the fuselage structure. Answer: The 40A limit can be considered as a system wide current limit. No motor or battery may see more than a 40A current. Therefore, if you have two separate packs feeding two separate motors, each motor/pack would have a 40A (max) fuse.
