SAGE DLG Contest:
Saturday May 13, 2006 at the SAGE Club Field
Pilots meeting 8:45 am; Contest starts at 9:00 AM
$2 entry fee for one class, $3 for both.
Directions to SAGE:
Take I-10 to the Avra Valley Rd. Exit 246; head West on Avra Valley Rd (its the only way you can go); go past the airport; turn left on Clayton Rd (again the only way you can go- Clayton Rd is about a mile past the airport); about ½ mile from the Clayton Rd- AV Rd intersection there will be a dirt road on your right, turn onto the dirt road, and follow it past the hot air balloon launch area. Our club Ramada and parking is on the left.
Tasks:
Round 1: All Up Last Down - points for last 5 down. If several planes are still up after 3 minutes those pilots will get an equal number of points. (Three repetitions i.e. 3 AULD attempts.) This Round is intended as a warm up.
Round 3: 10 minute window: most 1 minute flights completed
Round 4: 10 Minute window: most 2 minute flights completed
Round 5: 10 minute window: 4 min, 3, min, 2 minute flight any order
Round 6: 10 minute window: two 5 minute flights
Clinic and Critiquing
Raffle and Awards
- All scores normalized to highest score.
- Also contestants can designate open or Sportsman (sub 50 category) - Sportsman category includes planes like the DL50, Gambler, QF II, Seeker/Swyft for those who only have one of these to fly.
- Open Class will be A- Group and Sportsman B-Group. A-Group will fly Round 1 followed by B-Group.
- Following the contest flying we will have some open flying and critiquing of flying styles for those who are interested. We would like this to be a no-pressure contest that helps everyone to improve their flying skills and have a great time in the process!
