[LASS Soaring] 2 Channel contest kickoff next Sunday! How about a shout out?

[GordySoar at aol.com]

Okay Guys,
How about helping our new enthusiastic member out with this one.  Post this 
group a note to let us know if you will make it AND if you  won't.
 
Many have bemoaned the lack of consideration for the sport flyer  who hasn't 
dropped thousands on equipment.  So here it is a stimulus  package for you 
specifically.  If you want some help checking out your  sailplane's set up, I'll 
be there to help.  I'm flying back from Florida to  participate and to help.  
How far are you traveling? :-)

Sunday, Sunday,  Sunday! 
Sunday, March 1st, we  will hold a trial run for our 2009 LASS 2-Channel Club 
Contest Series.   Below you will find the proposed format:

1)        Fly what you got as long as it’s  only 2-channel and it’s 
unpowered 
2)        3 rounds of 5, 7, 5  minutes 
3)        High start  launches 
4)       Tape landing 
5)       10am start time! 
This will be a non-points event, so let’s get out and  have some fun and work 
all of the kinks, bugs, and cobwebs out of the  thumbs.  Although the weather 
outside doesn’t look too conducive to  flying today, the weather report for 
next weekend is looking half way decent  (48 – partly cloudy).  Tentatively, we 
would like to target the first  Sunday of each month, and we will accumulate 
points throughout the  series.  Other rules, format changes, and schedule 
details are being made  up as we go along, but we will have it all worked out 
before the first points  event.  J 
Let’s dust off those old 2 meters, 3 meters,  standards, catapult launchers, 
whatever you got, and let’s have some  low-pressure contest fun as a club.  If 
you’ve never flown a contest, or  it’s been a long time, come out anyway.  
Yours truly has never even seen  a sailplane contest, but it’s not stopping me! 
Hope to see you all there!  Feel free to contact  me directly with any 
questions, comments or  suggestion.
