Promising Weekend?

Congratulate John Earlywine and Lachlan Ohman of the Kendallville club on the new Indiana open multiplace 100km triangle speed record at 50.46 mph, flown on July 8. They broke Don Reid's record set 20 years earlier! They also established an open multiplace free triangle distance record at 65.2 statute miles.

Likewise, congratulate Gerry Whitson on setting Indiana open singleplace and sports class records on 29 May in the Distance Using Up To Three Turnpoints category, at 116.66 statute miles. Gerry also set records in the 15M and standard classes, but I need to pin him down on which ones he wants to claim - his flight would qualify in several categories and under the 2004 revisions to the Sporting Code, a pilot can only claim one distance record in each class.

The first weekend of October looks good. Come on out and fly!
