[MT-ALES] Billings event Saturday Sept 9

[Hal Aasen]

HI Carl,

I am planning on coming down for the contest. I talked with Curtis and I can bring the sound system and computer, doesn't look like he will be in attendance.  Still trying to get over two weeks of Covid so this is not a 100% sure thing.  Will keep you informed.

Hal

Hey everyone!

The flying season is winding down, with just 2 more events scheduled for the Billings area.  These are scheduled for this coming Saturday, September 9 and then again on October 14.  Both to be held at Edwards Farm.

I’d like to have a head count for the September event ASAP.  This may influence what we will do.

Current pilots are:


  *   Bob Blumer
  *   Dick Blumer
  *   Doug Pressman
  *   Jon Garber
  *   Carl Thuesen

If Curtis can come and bring his sound system we could fly a regulation F5J contest.  Essentially this works the same as our ALES5J format, except that you need to be on the ground before the working window end buzzer.

If Curtis is not available we could fly ALES5J, or regular ALES.

Or we could do something fun like the modified ALES they fly at Visalia.  Limiters set at 100 M with task times of 6 to 8 minutes, everything else ALES rules.

Other ideas on format welcome.

Please advise on attendance by Wednesday.  Thank you!

Carl
