For those of you who have yet to hear of this, SG has just created a new forum for fun events.
Specifically HangGliding.Org Fun Fly-In Events. Fun Regional Annual Events where Hg.Org friends can meet in person and fly their ass off together.
This one is planned for the NW quadrant. Please organize one for your Regional Turf too. Same dates even. No sweat.
I've time ours to avoid conflicts with other regional events. Hopefully the events will cross feed each other.
- lets leave the heavy duty stuff to the Oz Report's Competition Forum. OK? They own that part of the world...
and the voice here is OzReport ID: Events - yep: one and the same.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ Updated _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
To start, I want to introduce a bang up great European idea and organization:
X World Contest and their really neat idea:
X-CAMP whose services include handling registration and scoring.
The small HangGliding.Org GoPro XC Camp (the "Action Cameras" proposed name, applications in process...) Fly-In fees would be collected at the event.
Where pilots receive coaching to fly XC with their friends, and download their own GPS Tracklogs to
XContest which does all that nasty stuff for you!
..."each pilot choose his route and launch time.
Turnpoints will not need to be declared before flight and pilot can make decision about route during his flight, according to the actual conditions.
After return from the flight the track will be scored.
The scoring system is simple and is based on the idea of many XC contest (OLC, PGweb XContest...)
Director of the Fly-In Event has right to stop the day any time in case of worsening weather under safe level in flying corridor or in case of objective reason.
In this case tracklogs will be optimized and scored until time of stopping."
This will be a non commercial Fly-In event, not a competition,
where pilots would be coached on Cross Country Flying and
where their launches and landings would be filmed with GoPro Video Cameras
to analyze their take off and landings technics to improve personal safety.
