The Southern Ontario Glider Group Inc. (SOGGI) invites you to the Bud Wallace open-class man-on-man sailplane contest.
The contest will be held on Saturday June 19, 2010 (rain date June 20). Registration will begin at 9 AM and the Pilots Meeting will be at 10 AM sharp. Location will be a sod farm site near Mt. Hope (Hamilton) Ontario. Entry fee will be $10 and every contestant must show his valid MAAC card. All pilots please bring a stopwatch and frequency pin. We would appreciate having extra winches on hand, in case unexpected numbers of contestants show up.
Pilots from other clubs are very welcome.
For pilots who are new to sailplane contests, coaching will be available.
“Open Class” means any R/C sailplane. In “man-on-man” competition, for each contest Round every contestant must try to accomplish the same assigned flight time (e.g. fly a 10 minute flight), plus land on a target. All scorecards must be turned in within the time-span allowed for that round (e.g. 30 minutes). We will have as many Rounds as time and conditions permit.
Your score for each Round will be determined by proximity to the assigned flight time combined with proximity to the landing target. The sum of scores from all Rounds will determine contest prizes to Third Place.
For updates on the exact location and other details, contact our Contest Director, Bob Hammett at '519-759-1939, the_hammetts@rogers.com
Additional details will also be posted here as they become available.
