As before, Electric launch gliders must be fitted with an AMRT (height limiter) which cuts the motor at 30 secs and records the launch height. Electric launch height remains at 175m but there will now be a penalty of 3 pts per metre for Electric launches exceeding it. Most pilots will want to set AMRTs to cut a little below 175m. It is fine instead to use F5J firmware and cut the motor manually. This event will be using Gliderscore eScoring via smart phones. We will print and issue a score record card for you to record your round scores and set up your phones via QR matrix A minimum of 4 rounds and a maximum of 6 rounds will be flown Disciplines: Glider, Electric, Open, 100” Competitors Terry Letchford.

Terry Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 Dear Glidetts Due to forecasted very windy weather for Sunday at Sittingbourne, it has been decided to Cancel our Competition. Will work with the Committee to hopefully reschedule the Competition into the diary in the near future. Hope to see you all at Cliffe next week. Sorry!
