Default General Don Lowe Masters Info

Hi Guys, I've got a few questions about the Masters this year. What are the flying hours for the event? Also what will be the spectator fee? Does anyone know when the semifinal/final rounds will be flown? Thanks for any help.

I'll give this a shot, but Biff would know more.

What are the flying hours for the event? 8am til were done in the evening.

Also what will be the spectator fee? I don't think there is one.

Does anyone know when the semifinal/final rounds will be flown? Finals is Saturday

Oh yea, is someone gonna start a "Masters Daily Thread"? If so, I've got some info.

Spectator fee is $5.00 per day, per person. After Thrusday night field will be cut down to 14. Saturday the top 7 will complete for the win. Hope all have a safe trip to Tripple Tree.

Thanks,

Laura

Flypilot.

Its purely invitational and normally based on placings in the major USA and international competitions. However I know the CAF guys who run this event are always on the look out for additional new blood so if you are cleaning up in the national events etc then I would contact the likes of Bob Sadler to drop him your CV and standings.

You pretty much need to compete in a few international events to get your name up in lights but Europe is for sure very much into IMAC with a ton of competitions and international events unlike most of us where it entails airfreight and passports to get around.

Hope that helps.

Kiwi
