That's right we are giving away a complete Airtronics Stylus Computer Radio system INCLUDING the card of your choice, Glider, Akro, Helicopter. This is the same radio system that recently won the Helicopter World Championships!!
The Rocky Mountain Soaring Association is the host club for the competition to select the United States F3J Soaring Team to represent the US at the World Championships in Martin Slovakia next year. This event will be held during three days on August 19 through 21. F3J is an exciting - human tow - simultaneous launch event, with lots of action and strategy. This event will require a number of volunteers to support official timing activities for the competitors and other miscellaneous tasks. You will have the opportunity to see some of the world's best soaring pilots competing for the privilege of making the United States Soaring Team. If you intend to come and watch - you could just as easily be a volunteer. You will be up close and personal to the best pilots in the world - watching their techniques and hearing their strategies. No experience needed!!! The most needed help is for officials to time the competitor flights. If you can push a button on a stopwatch you can be a timer. Volunteers can receive training prior to the contest - the rules are pretty simple. On Thursday evening August 18th RMSA personnel will conduct a training session at the RMSA club field lasting no more than 1 hour to familiarize volunteers with the watches and when to start and stop timing. It is recommended that volunteers attend this session. Other arrangements can be made with other club members to prepare volunteers in advance for those that cannot make the scheduled session. We will also provide training before each shift.
