Tom Kallevang, [EMAIL PROTECTED], is Contest Director for unlimited. Pre-registration not required since we are going to have open winch. Frequency pins will be supplied. Very simple format. No skegs or landing arrestors. Each round will have a window where all must fly within that window. Windows will be adjusted for flight tasks, (ie. longer window to accommodate a longer task). Scoring will be normalized to the task, with the FAI landing bonus added after the normalization (best score 1100 for the round). Pilots' meeting around 9-9:15 and get started flying by 9:30. No skegs or landing arrestors. Chicago is having an air show this weekend so if you don't want to fly you can go downtown and watch. Last year B1 Bombers circled our field in a holding pattern for the show. Great scenery. Steve Meyer http://SOARchicago.com/stmeyer/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] S.O.A.R.
