Thanks Pete, yes this is a flying focused event. There certainly will be some judging concepts addressed as in order score well it is imperative that one know what the judges are looking for, however, we will be talking and practicing concepts for flying in scale aerobatics competition.
Some basic items on the agenda: Airplane trimming and setup, Fundementals (lines & geometry, etc.), Calling technique, Practice techniques / methods, Unknowns, Wind correction, Knowns, and anything else relevant we have time for. Pete and Dave, I'll be in touch with you guys shortly .t Also, to reiterate Pete's original reply, the SE Regional Judging School has been set for March 3,4 in Augusta GA. Even if you're a seasoned judge it's important to attend as there are rules changes that go into effect this year, and there is not one among us who can't benefit from a refresher to sharpen our skills. |

Sharpen skills. Yes! And do not forget your favorite foam. Night flying in the back parking lot after class. Great Time! We will have a blast as usual.

Ty, I see that you mentioned working on some unknowns. Will you actually have some unknown sequences there for us or what?

Hey Marty,
As Kent said, don't worry. Even if you don't do any flying - and I'm sure we can prevent that from happening - there is a lot that can be learned from pure info standpoint. "No plane" isn't gettin ya off the hook. t |

FWB,
Any room for a RV at your site? Also could you post nearest lodging. Will not need to be the swankiest of places. Just a place to SSS. Kent
