pre-Worlds - who's going? »
150 out of 250
Ben Dunn|Davis Straub|Dustin Martin|Jeff O'Brien|Jeff Shapiro|Pre-Worlds 2011|Ubaldo Romano|Wills Wing T2C|World Pilot Ranking Scheme|Worlds 2023|Zac Majors
The best guess so far: http://www.cucco2011.org/test_romano/ Click Pilot Info, then Pilots List. Based on December 2, 2009, WPRS ranking, will change when January ranking is available. US pilots chosen to go to the pre-Worlds, so far:
Zac Majors, Wills Wing T2C-144
Dustin Martin, Wills Wing T2C-144
Jeff O'Brien, Wills Wing T2C (144 or 154)
Davis Straub, Icaro Laminar MR1000
Jeff Shapiro, Wills Wing T2C-144
Derreck Turner, Moyes Litespeed S5
Ben Dunn, Moyes Litespeed
Each nation gets up to five pilots independent of WPRS ranking. If more than five pilots from one country apply for the pre-Worlds, then the top five in that nation as per their January 2010 WPRS ranking are allowed in. When all those nations' slots are taken (some nations won't have five slots because less than five pilots pre-registered from that nation, for example, Turkey), then the remaining slots are available by WPRS ranking to the pilots who pre-registered.
Turns out a lot of pilots from Italy pre-registered and they have a lot of good WPRS rankings, and so fifteen pilots are coming from Italy. Derreck Turner and Ben Dunn got in with their WPRS rankings. Many US pilots did not.
Everyone has to get their entry fee in with ten days (January 17th) or they go to the end of the line. Starting on the 17th, pilots are chosen for the now empty slots by pre-registration date.
The actual five man teams will be decided at the competition.
Update: The January WPRS ranking it up and the pilot list will be updated soon.

Over 200 pilots sign up for⁢ 2011 pre-Worlds »
The limit is 150
(Grotta, Monte Cucco, PG, Italy)
Pre-Worlds 2011|World Pilot Ranking Scheme|Worlds
Apparently hang gliding is not dying at the level of World competitions (or at least pre-Worlds) The Italian based pre-Worlds is over subscribed already, just a few days after opening the registration to the waiting list. The local regulations state:
Registration will open on 2nd November 2009. Priority will be given to national teams of up to 5 pilots per country.
Places will be allocated starting from 7th January 2010 to pilots on the waiting list.
Allocation will be based on WPRS ranking on 1st January 2010 followed by order of registration for any unranked pilots.
As from 7th January, all confirmed pilots will have ten days time in which to pay the registration fee, in order not to lose their priority position in the pilot list.
Therefore, confirmed pilots whose receipt of payment does not reach the organizers by 17th January, will be moved to the bottom of the waiting list.
All other pilots accepted afterwards, will have 10 days to pay the registration fee before their place is reallocated to another pilot.

Mouth piece release
Release
Open your mouth to let go
Justinas Pleikys|photo
Justinas Pleikys «justas» from Lithuania sends this pictures of an aerotow release that they use in Lithuania:
We use seven to ten of this type release for maybe five or more years with no problems. All of them by made by the same metal-worker, we don't have any to sell.
Click the above photos for higher resolution versions.
The release above allows for the pilot to release from towing just by opening
their mouth. This would be particularly useful in the first few seconds if
something goes wrong right away.
The plans for building this release are found
here,
here,
here, and
here.
It is difficult to move your hand to release in the first few seconds. Only the
Lookout release, in addition to this one, allows for that. More on this
tomorrow.
