Get on down under and come and be part
of the Forbes Flatlands Revival.
Forbes offers some of the best flying
in the world with consistent weather,
good infrastructure and diverse landscape.
In 2009, we will be offering four levels
of competion to help cater for all levels
of pilots and fun.
1. Open Class Category
(aimed at pilots who are looking to
get on their national teams, or close
to it. The top twenty on any national
ladder.)
2. A Class Category � For
pilots that have never been in the top
100 WPRS (CIVL world ranking system).
Same tasks at the Open Class. Scored
together with the Open class, but singled
out for recognition
3. Sport Class � Shortened
Task - GPS required - Open to kingpost
gliders (For less competition experienced
pilots who want to learn more and stretch
themselves with less than herculean
tasks. Launching a bit later than Open
and A Classes to get the better part
of the day for the shorter task.)
4. Club Class - Duration
and spot landing � Open to all gliders
(For pilots who want to learn to aerotow,
would like some extra attention and
help, want to practice their thermaling
and landing skills and hang with the
big dogs. Launching after Sport Class.
Must land before sunset.)
An Aerotow endorsement course or aerotow
training will also be available every
morning starting at 9am.
