I know we don't get a lot of handlaunch chatter here on the RCSE, but I
know deep in your heart of hearts you really want to fly DLG :)
Currently, the Polecat Challenge (June 14-16, 2008) has 73 registered,
paid entrants.
We've got:
38 Experts
26 Sportsman
9 Novices (never flown in a contest before)
And what's really awesome is that nearly half are people are somewhat
new to the sport! The Polecat has become a real draw for the new
guys... Due in part to the great atmosphere, but also because of the
Pro/Am on Friday afternoon that really helps the novices and sportsmen
(and some of the Experts!), and nearly everyone is showing up for that
as well.
So, if you've ever considered flying handlaunch - this is *the* contest
to attend.
Buy, borrow or steal a DLG and get out to Pennsylvania on Father's Day
weekend.
