Mike Gee (Event Director)<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> entry forms are available at
http://www.scalesoaring.net/EVENTS.HTM then scroll down to September Events,
a Word Doc flyer with entry form is available there. You may call Mike at
541 956-6149 in Grants Pass, OR.
The main plan for this event will be to have FUN and learn more about Aero
Towing, and for those who have not flown XC, the added excitement of this
fast growing form of flying model aircraft.
This is an AMA Sanctioned event so make sure to bring your current AMA
pilot's card. No card; no flying, everyone who fly's will have to sign in
both for event and sanction paperwork.
To date a couple of names to be in attendance are Wil Byers and Tony
Elliott with his huge SB-10 also, Mike Gervais, Mike Bamberg, Dean Gradwell
and Scott Meador.
Awards will be for Scale Best Vintage Glider and Modern Sailplane
Optional: Cross Country longest distance in a closed
course
Best Tug and Towline Drop contest
For all planning to attend we need to know your plans as early as possible
whether you will be entering the XC event. Cars and trucks will be needed
with seat belts and seats in the pickup beds to comply with CHP requirements
in California. Jeeps and convertibles work well for this. We can provide
advisor assistance but do not have equipment available except on a very
limited basis. Please let Mike know your needs and if you can assist for
this part of the event. Just so you know, the closed course runs on main
back country roads and thru 3 small towns, crosses Interstate 5, with a
total course length of about 60 miles. It is a changeling course in the
beautiful Shasta Valley, in the shadow of Mt. Shasta to the south.
