Well I did know you guys were doing it,
but I forgot. Sorry.
I’ll put it on my calendar. Buy that
time I may have a new aerobatic ship together.

Subject: Scale Aerobatics on the
slope - yep!
John,
After the first Soar Utah (1993), our club (http://silentflyer.org/) has held a "scale aerobatic
routine" competition at each Soar Utah, on the slope (Point of the
Mountain, Utah).
We've intentionally relaxed the format to get more participation as well as
maintaining a "spirit of low pressure fun flying".
We've adopted a format loosely based upon the AMA rule book (15.1.Task A1). In
addition, a "K" factor (level of difficultly multiplier) has been
incorporated in the judging. It is great fun to see superbly skilled, scale
pilots showing signs of nervous pressure when thrown into this format.
After a decade of using this format, and getting favorable input, we continue
to use it.
We separate the sailplanes into to three classes: Modern, Vintage (pre-1957),
and PSS so that each pilot is competing
against similar planes/pilots.
So, someone has been doing it for more than 10 years and it works. Come out to
the next Soar Utah (2006), which is held every even year, and you can see the
event as well as fly in it.
