The Houston Hawks will host the Deep-South Soaring
Championships in Houston on Memorial Day weekend.
While we recognise the most competitive class is
Unlimited, we also recognise the rise of the RES class
into a more prominent position. Therefore, instead of
just paying homage to this class on Friday afternoon,
we will be running alternating rounds of Unlimited and
RES. That will allow the scorekeepers time to set the
next flight groups. AMA RES rules will apply, and
skegs will be allowed. No hand-launch event is
planned...sorry.
Scoring will be normalized man-on-man with a max 25
point landing, down a 25 foot tape. This is a 2-day,
single event, with trophies awarded for 2 classes and
an overall champion on Sunday afternoon. Pilot's
meeting will be at 9:00 AM on Sarutday, May 29th.
Pilot's and Timer's attendance is mandantory, so there
is no question left unanswered. Flying will commence
at 10:00 with the first RES round. We will fly
Saturday until about 6:00 PM, so bring lunch! Sunday
there will be no pilot's meeting, and flying will
commence at 10:00, with Unlimited getting us started.
Flight groups and winch assignments will be assigned.
If you are a no-show, you will zero that round.
Pop-offs will be flown out. Winch malfunctions above
2/3 normal launch will be flown out. A spare winch
will be at the end of the line, with a landing zone.
The landing zone will be a 25' rope, with the landing
zone extending in a radius off the ends as well as
parallel to the rope. This will be explained at the
pilot's/timer's meeting.
Thanks for your interest... This will be the place to
be to see the Houston Hawks in their own element.
