Time for some fun flying, our annual comp and chili cook off!
Based on the previous years success, Jeff Chipman informs me that we will have the same classes:
Dahlsten Cup (Open) Flex wing gliders only. Pilots compete for the Dahlsten cup, race around predetermined course with lowest overall time winning. Possibly two start times, scoring accomplished by GPS track log. Pilots need the new waypoints that have been updated with altitude and may have been adjusted slightly from last spring. Pilots should also set their GPS to record/update as quickly as possible.
Sport Class (H3 & P3 pilots) Flexwing and paragliders compete in a race around a predetermined course (shorter than the open class). Idea of the sport class is to expose newer H3 pilots to the element of navigating a course using their GPS. Although topless gliders can enter this class it is normally reserved for kingposted gliders and paragliders.
Fun Class (high time H2 pilots) Flexwing and paragliders accumulate as many waypoints in the shortest time possible. Scoring is still accomplished by GPS but the time starts as soon as the pilot launches. We only had 2 or 3 pilots in this class last year but I know Terry and BJ said they had a blast.
