This year's Montague X/C Challenge was held on June 14th and 15th at the
Siskiyou County Airport, a full scale glider airport near Montague
California. We had 15 teams show up and perfect weather.
This was my first year to actually fly in this event and it was a big

As for glitches and "how many is too many"...I don't have an answer, only
some practical experience after years spent with R/C Helicopters (the worst
environment for creating glitches) and the BC6. I have to be honest and

Hello all,
This past weekend, I completed the last of my LSF III tasks (1 km goal and
return) and only have contest points remaining. With these tasks behind me
and IV, V ahead, I have been giving a lot of though to how I would
accomplish them and what should I fly. I have been flying a Mistral

Hi All,
