The Fall Soaring Festival is in the books. There was 300 sailplanes registered for the event, in several categories.
There was 2 beautiful days of competition. For those unfamiliar with thermal duration soaring the goal is to fly as close to the required time for a given round which could be 4 to 10 minutes whatever the CD decides and then to land as close to the target as possible.
Markdowns are given for each second above or below the given time and a landing score is given based on distance from the target zone.
The Central Valley R/C Soaring Club of Visalia are the hosts of the event. This year was the thirty-seventh annual contest.
I met an awful lot of wonderful people at the event and had a great time. The CVRC has endorsed me in the election which is an honor. I'm looking forward to next year's event already.
