Tom,
On the weekend there are three events running concurrently, F3B, Winch XC,
and Aerotow XC and you must enter one, that is how I thought it was done in '04
but that is how it will be done in '06. Good or bad, you must decide and fly
an event. Also, there will be an altitude limit to launches this year in
Aerotow XC, not sure what that is yet, but Johnny needs to see the towplane and
that was an issue at 4K, which was not really appropriate and it is a soaring
contest not who can see the plane the highest.
The "after hour event" title is for the line across the chart not after HL
on Friday. If you look to the right you will see HL Golf and the Banquet and
that is what is being refernced by this line, Tom could not make the title
outside the chart I would guess.
Hope that answers your questions.

Subject: [RCSE] XC at Nats
Last time they let you fly either or both XC events.?? Aero-tow and winch.?
There was only one fee.? There is only winch XC listed on the LSF site.?
http://www.silentflight.org/NATS2006/Nats2006.html? but the entry form has them
separated.? There is also? "After Hours Events" listed on Friday after HL.?
What would that be??If the conditions were like last time, it would be nice to
have the option of flying in the aero-tow.? Having to choose "only one" is
difficult.? Anyone know if the aero-tow is like last time, where you got towed
as high as you wanted?? It mean't the biggest plane got up 4000 ft, while the
smaller ones 1000 ft.? If they have a set height for release, and monitors at
the field corners, then it might be more fair and might be a factor in people's
decisions.? Since there is no frequency conflict issue, it would be nice if
there was still the option of doing both.?I have a vehicle this year, but need
a driver and observer.? I'm sure my last year's team will be doing scale
aero-tow, and I need my 10K for LSF and Canadian.? Anyone able to help out?? I
have two winches available if anyone needs me to bring a spare.?Tom
