soarcat

For those of you interested in doing some electric soaring this weekend, Robert Burson has started another Electric Postal Contest, similiar to what was run last year. There is one important change in the rules, if you start your motor a second time you lose all of your landing points.
There is enough accomodation in the rules to work for almost any type of electric set up whether it is a Speed 400 plane or a high powered super floater with handicaps that make all of the classes competitive with each other.
I will have landing lines out at the field probably around noon, which ever day appears better from a flying standpoint. Forecast isn't real good but we all know that can change quickly.
Here is the link to the thread in the Electric Sailplane forum of RCGroups:
