It looks like the first SSA approved, USA Double Seater Contest will likely
be held at Fredricksburg, Gillespie County Airport, Texas. August 22nd thru
August 28th, 2004. The USA Motorglider Contest will also be held at this
time.

Details are not complete, however, the contest will essentially duplicate
the very popular format used in Europe.

It will be a handicapped contest, no water ballast allowed, and the gliders
will be limited to a maximium 20 meter span. Gliders of less performance
(Grob 103 etc.) will be welcome, however very low performing two place
gliders will not be permitted.

You are encouraged to sign up for my newsletter at www.eglider.org as this
is the easiest manner to comunicate with those interested.
