Re: 2020 National Tournament: North Carolina State University
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.

Re: 2020 National Tournament: North Carolina State University
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).Frost0125 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 25, 2020 5:42 pm(I’m not in gliders, so I don’t know how helpful this is.)CrayolaCrayon wrote: ↑Tue Feb 25, 2020 8:49 amWould be very cool if it was Reynolds Coliseum!coachchuckaahs wrote: ↑Sun Feb 23, 2020 4:24 pm Any word or thought on flying site height for gliders and Ws?

Re: 2020 National Tournament: North Carolina State University
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.sciolyperson1 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 25, 2020 7:22 pmAs 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).

Re: 2020 National Tournament: North Carolina State University
I feel like a state university would have at least a few more places tall and large enough to run flight events.Frost0125 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 7:41 amThere aren't too many other places they can use for gliders.

Re: 2020 National Tournament: North Carolina State University
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.builderguy135 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 9:23 amI feel like a state university would have at least a few more places tall and large enough to run flight events.Frost0125 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 7:41 amThere aren't too many other places they can use for gliders.

NorCal has infinite ceiling height... although the wind might be just a tad variable...
