Actually the F3B style contest was almost the norm in Northern California from the late 60's through the 70's ... I can remember a lot of South Bay contest like that :-) And the money in the hat spot landing:)
I remember because my Dad who was not much of a pilot won several of those contest because he had this German glider that was fast as hell and thermaled pretty good too... He once drove over the wings with his 63 Falcon and did no damage to them.. Try that with one of your moldies! WOW... I can still remember... Must not of taken enough drugs in the 80's :-)))) Craig Chuck Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: At 04:32 PM 1/12/2008, you wrote: >In 1971, the North Bay Soaring Society (NBSS) hosted a three task >contest in Santa Rosa, Calif. with tasks almost identical to F3B. >Regis The 1979 LSF Tournament in Lockport, IL also used the three task format. I flew in that one and didn't like it any better than I did when I flew F3B in 1976. Chuck RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
