2017 LOUISVILLE DERBYSOAR
Fri, June 23, 2017 — Sun, June 25, 2017

THIS EVENT IS 100% FREE!

        The Louisville Area Soaring Society is excited to announce a new 3 Day RC Soaring Event -

                                                                       The DerbySoar!

FRIDAY: ALES  (150m/ 30 second motor run).

Line Retrieval will be done via a Golf Cart, so attendees can spend their time flying, not walking!

Saturday and Sunday will be Unlimited "Mixed Launch" which means electric launch sailplanes with Altitude Switches set at 150meters/30 seconds will launch along side Winch Launched Sailplanes as one class - Unlimited Thermal Duration.  (this is not a mix of ALES and TD,

      Electric Launch planes will launch emulating the Winch Launched ships launch pattern which means they will launch UP, the electric launch pilot timer will start their clocks the same as the winch launched pilot timers, when the model comes off the "launch".

      We decided on a runway style landing task (a 14' rope anchored tightly on each end).  The sailplane's nose needs to land on or along side the rope (2" either side) for 100 points and measuring stick marked in one inch increments from there provides the landing scores.  That allows consistency, and also lets pilots watching from afar to see the exact level of skill pilots displayed in all three classes.  This task most emulates full size soaring landings also.

Grand Champion Trophy - A "DERBYSOAR" engraved Louisville Slugger Baseball Bat will be awarded to the pilot who earns the highest combined total points in Unlimited Saturday and Sunday.

The TOP Two Day Unlimited  Pilot with the  Highest LANDING score will receive a unique "Louisville Slugger Home Plate" trophy! (its about time landing skills got recognized!)

  Trophies for all classes will feature photos of the pilot and his partner (his sailplane)!

ALES - Sportsman and Expert!

Unlimited - Sportsman and Expert Classes!

Our flying site is approximately 1000' in all four directions and since there is some forest on all sides, the wind is less likely to cause problems for launching or landings. We will have a golf cart and driver to do retrieval of winch lines, (contests are for flying and fun, not walking :-)!

The OVSS leadership & the Blue Grass Soaring Society of Lexington have both pledged equipment and other support if needed but we are hoping to provide flying to all who come, not work ;-).

Updates and discussion can be found on RC Groups, Sailplane Events, 2017 DerbySoar               

or by contacting GordySoar@aol.com 502-727-9595

Our club President Gordy Stahl and all our members welcome you to attend!

At this time we will not be providing food on the field, so plan on bringing your own food. There is a Mc D's and DQ with in 10mins of the field. (however, we may have field neighbors providing dogs and burgers on the field).
