F3b and Soaring Fans, Some of us F3b guys are getting together at a fantastic soaring site in central California, Cal Valley on April 26th and 27th.. This is another one of our F3b competitions aimed at introducing F3b to new pilots. There is no better way to really learn all aspects of soaring than though F3b. And who better to learn it from than some of the very best pilots in the country. Most that have attended our previous events have never seen F3b before, and came away raving. Most comment that they learned more in an afternoon than in the past 2 years. F3b tasks force you to think about good technique and mechanics that are not usually stressed. So whether you are a TD pilot, Slope racer, fun flier, or super competative F3J guy, come out and give this a go. If you have an airplane with a hook on it, you can do this.
The Cal Valley site is located on private land, where the owner operates a hotel. We are renting rooms, and planning to have cookouts together. This will make for some awesome glider guy bonding. So bring a plane, food, really good boose, and perhaps some cigars. We will have some fun. I really look forward to meeting some new faces. For more information please refer to our RCGroups thread at http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=818610 . Chime in so we can cooperate on food planing, and carpools. Most of our pilots are not RCGroups regulars, so I expect about 15 pilots to attend. See You Guys there, David Klein -- David Klein Graduate Research Student Department of Structural Engineering Jacobs School of Engineering University of California San Diego
