Michael: You are certainly right about the fact that we do have some of the "not great weather", which is why I put "(relatively speaking)" behind the great weather statement. So here is a clue direct from the weatherman...San Diego does have some hot and humid days, with an (very) occasional thunderstorm in the months of late July and August. And it has a "rainy" season during the first three months of the year. Hey, Michael...365 days of the same weather would be like being in Seattle:) P.S. We love those guys from the SASS group. They are our most dedicated group from outside California.
So here is a clue of when to come to San Diego...the first full weekend in June. Oh! And while you are here, bring a HLG and have a great time competing in the IHLGF -- the most fun and flying time you can have in R/C Soaring.

You do a good job of promoting the event. And the Nats suffers from just the opposite on the weather. There were many years when soaring was stuck in the last week of July. By the last week in July, Muncie is usually hot and humid. Of course, every time I have been to San Diego, I have managed to get some of the not great weather. It's just not right to get hot and humid and thunderstorms in San Diego. Ron Scharck wrote: > Steve: > > It really isn't fair to compare the NATS HLG event to the IHLGF.
