On Thursday Aug 9, 2012 the Southern Ontario Glider Group Inc. will host an open class Altitude Limited Electric Sailplane (ALES) contest.
Pilot registration starts at 10:00 AM. Proof of MAAC membership is required. Flying begins at 10:30 AM and as many rounds as weather permits will be flown. There will be no entry fee, but coveted Attaboys (or Attagirl's, as appropriate) will be awarded to 3rd place.
The task is Thermal Duration with Precision Landing, and is open to all MAAC or AMA sailplane pilots with an electric R/C sailplane equipped with an altitude limited throttle set for a 200 Meter cut off. If you don't have an altitude limiter, visit http://www.soaringcircuits.com or http://www.wingedshadow.com/
The Contest will conform to the spirit of the ALES League rules ... see http://ales-league.org/alesleaguerules.pdf
Emphasis is on having fun with interesting people. Visiting pilots are advised to contact Bob Hammett (519-759-1939, the_hammetts@rogers.com ) for last-minute updates and for driving directions to our new field near Binbrook, Ontario. Pilots from other clubs are always welcome.
MAAC Sanction# 2012-396.
