Announcing CISS Labor Day Contest

CISS First Annual Labor Day Contest

CISS is hosting a four day cross-country soaring contest during September 3-6 for 15 gliders. Our club members will have first priority entry status until June 15, at which time we will open up the attendance to other glider pilots in neighboring clubs.

The Guidelines http://docs.google.com/View?id=dcn38s27_0gq6qkfgv for the contest are attached, and the purpose is to introduce racing to the entry level pilot. A structured contest with low stress, high enjoyment, education and challenging enough to make it exciting will be the main features. The rules and scoring will be similar to the ones used in our usual year-long contest, but assigned tasks will be used every day. IE, you will be racing against each other ! The rules will be posted on the club website in a week or so.

The club Grob 103 and the PW-5 will be made available to fly by qualified CISS members and team flying (different pilots may fly on different days) will be permitted (no, make that encouraged !). If you would like to fly one of these gliders, a sign up sheet will be posted in the clubhouse on Saturday May 15. First come first serve, and the first person will be assigned Day 1, second pilot Day 2, etc.

As for private owners, you have been flying all over the skies for the past few years, now is the time to spread those wings in an organized contest ! Please use the attached registration form http://docs.google.com/View?id=dcn38s27_2cnt4phc5 to sign up for the contest. Send the entry form and check, made out to CISS to:
