If you would be definitely interested in attending this new National Contest,
please respond to this thread or email me at as soon as
possible.

Thanks Bif, count me as interested, Dave "YO" (ArcusM)

I feel the 20m class is one of the best ways to develop new or beginning race pilots.

I flew with G Dale in the NZ Nationals and the 45 hours I spent in the cockpit with him were the most informative and satisfying flying I have done in my 11,000+ hours of flying. We could discuss tactics, girls, decision making, and the thought process of one of the most experienced glider pilots in the world all in real time.

I'd be honored to bring "QQ". I'm pretty sure I'll come in DFL among all the pilots who are responding, but ... what the heck. Seems like a fun time.

That glider knows the Mifflin task area really well...Come on up!

Folks,

Organizers need as much interest as you can give to attending the first ever 20 meter nationals ; potentially to be held at Mifflin in May 2018.

If you have any thought of attending with a two seater let it be known to Janine !! She is getting alot of interest but needs to know how many ships may play in Mifflin.

This is a very very very fun class!!

Would definitely be interested in attending with our DG1000.

Bif,

Heh I would reach out to Matti at USAFA on this also. I could see where the Academy might like a contest like this in some cases. I will mention it to him also.

Hope all is well! Miss seeing all you guys at Comps since I retired from USAFA. Also, I could imagine some Stemme owners could find such a contest interesting too.

The academy brought three Duos to Hobbs, i be theyd take them to mifflin!

Would 23 meters be accepted at a 20 meter contest?

Unfortunately, with a 200 hour inspection/overhaul requirement on the
propeller, I have to pick and choose where and when I can travel with
the ship. Maybe a trailer some day...
