Any word or thought on flying site height for gliders and Ws? Within this year's rules, flkying site height information will be critical. With the very light gliders, entirely different gliders may need to be built for higher sites.

As per usual national tournaments, they need to set up awards in a stadium so it may likely not be used for flight events (and PPP).

There aren't too many other places they can use for gliders. The only other spot that has room is usually used for ping pong and vehicle events.

I feel like a state university would have at least a few more places tall and large enough to run flight events. :?:

There might be another place, but I think it would be part of Reynold's... they have a couple extra rooms that might be big enough.

edit: I just remembered Carmichael gym exists... they'll probably put events there
