Default 1-26 Utilization and Participation

I would like to put out all call to all the clubs out there who still operate a 1-26. If you have new members just getting started with an interest in cross country soaring, your lowly club 1-26 can be a real economical tool for them.

The 1-26 Association has numerous awards to incentivize xc soaring. We have a yearly xc Sweepstakes that is tailored to newcommers. Awards are granted to pilots making xc flights according to their SSA badge experience levels.. This year there were very few entrants and a new pilot without a silver badge would have only made a flight of 35 miles total distance to have won that divisions award. All that is needed is a simple flight recorder, doesnot have to be FAI approved. No task declarations, no burdensom rules, just take a hand held logging gps with you and go fly, then upload the flight to the 1-26 association web site.

If your a club that has a 1-26 please encourage your members to put in a flight or two and upload them for a chance at some nice awards.
