Tin Cup

(This topic is in: Mar.12 Mar.11 Mar.10 Mar.9 --> )

Keeping competition healthy (Quest Air, Groveland, Florida, USA)

Seven national level hang gliding competitions in the US this year.  A number of them are using my freely available pilot registration system.  It goes from the Oz Report at no cost to organizers or pilots who have to pay the fees.  It was used recently for a speed gliding contest.

Combine this with again a freely available scoring system, with one click to on-line sores (freely available from the SeeYou authors).

Please, help us out.  Support something that you find useful so that it can continue to be there for you.

Paragliding Testival

13th-16th of May 2010 (Fliegerbar, Austria)

http://www.fly-koessen.at/spt/index_en.html

The members of the PMA provide their products free of costs to pilots for test flying.  Instead of having several individual, time and money consuming test camps spread all over the world, all manufacturers offer their products at the beginning of the European flying season central in Europe in Kössen with its ideal infrastructure.  For pilots keen to test several brands and to compare on site, this creates cheaper and timesaving possibilities to do so.

The WXC

Why isn't everyone connected to it.

Many of the OLC's don't send their data to CIVL's WXC.  Why?

Because CIVL wants to get the data at no cost.  The sites that gather this data are in this as a business.  They have sponsors that go to their sites to see the data and they see the sponsor's ads.  The data has value.
