Author Topic: 2015 Nats. Date, C/L. Update as of Nov. (Read 3301 times)

This is not etched in stone yet but, the dates for Controline is July 12-17, and C/L Scale is 17-19. Now the great thing about this is (if the date stands) the l-pad will be open for practice the week before. This is because scale is the weekend later and there is no need for the "over fly zone". If you are checking the dates the 12th is a Sunday and the 17th is a Fri.. Yolanda tells me Sept. 15th should be the date when final dates are secured. Pray this date stands, I think it is great for C/L.
Let your thoughts begin.

That's sure not the dates that was in the note I saw from HQs.

Bill, Yolanda sent a revised schedule out Tuesday I think it was. But I wonder if it will stand because the Walker Cup fly off is usually on a Saturday, and that can't happen with this schedule. We'll see.

Ending on Friday would actually work better for me as we normally have a business conflict in Denver. Ben could still fly Junior and we wouldn't have to decide which to do.

Update, this seems to be the final schedule, C/L scale will be Fri. 10th-Sun.12th. Everything else C/L will be Mon. 13th- Sat. 18th. same as in the past. Good thing is, it is not on the 4th of July weekend.

And, and I know it is apocryphal (and I am familiar with the basic concept of statistics), we have generally had much better weather the second week, as opposed to the first week.

Brett, I think it is because the glider and FF guys pray for thermals, so the result is unpredictable air and boomers roiling up to FL 50.......

Brett- I am sorry, I forgot- when one of your work birds is on ascent you barely take a breath before FL 50, and then things start getting interesting!

Yolanda (attached) sent this schedule out and this seems to be the official word as of today (Nov.). C/L is July 13th - 19th.

August?

Steve Fitton · « **Reply #16 on:** November 06, 2014, 07:35:53 AM »

?!!!!

Doug Moon · « **Reply #17 on:** November 06, 2014, 10:54:51 AM »

If RC scale is starting thier flying on Saturday 7/18 does that mean ours has to be done on Friday 7/17?

Howard Rush · « **Reply #18 on:** November 06, 2014, 01:22:39 PM »

Doug, listen to Dennis and Steve. It's in August. See you in August.

Allen Goff · « **Reply #19 on:** November 06, 2014, 02:30:43 PM »

Sorry for the mistake (Aug.) it is July. replete JULY, again it Is JULY, any further questions should be addressed to Bob McDonald, he is the event director. (I think)

not so fast Howard.....trying to sneak one over on me huh? ....I see what you are trying to do there... Now if we can just get David and Paul to go to Muncie in August instead of July we might be onto something.

Steve Riebe · « **Reply #21 on:** November 08, 2014, 09:24:06 AM »

Okay, so if the C/L competitions begin on the 13th of July, does that mean that beginner stunt is on the 12th? Is intermediate run with the beginner dates?

The schedule seems vague, just trying to make plans

Will Hinton · « **Reply #22 on:** November 08, 2014, 10:43:21 AM »

Doug, David, and Paul -yes, come in August, we would love to have you at the FCM!! (Howard, I get a cut for helping with this.)

Dave_Trible · « **Reply #23 on:** November 08, 2014, 11:05:52 AM »

August is the do-over Nats if you didn't like the results in July.
