| Contest Name: | Air Sailing Sports Class -CANCELLED | |
| Contest Location: | Reno, NV | |
| Description: | Air Sailing offers high desert soaring conditions with normal tasks including the Sierra and the great basin. The contest is conducted during the prime high desert soaring season, you can expect dynamic conditions and challenging tasks in all compass directions in some of the best soaring terrain in the west. We plan for 5 consecutive competition days including an informal awards banquet on Friday. In order to ensure adequate social distancing for C-19 safety, the contest will be limited to 10 contestants. The entry fee includes 5 tows and oxygen. We are located 30 miles north of Reno. Onsite primitive camping is available for tents, trailers or RVs. There are no RV/trailer hookups, but we do have nice restrooms and showers, and a septic dump is available. Important note for electric glider owners: Air Sailing Gliderport is off the grid, and we generate our own electrical power. Unfortunately, our off-grid electrical power system was not designed to accommodate the charging systems associated with today's electric self-launch or electric sustainer engine gliders. Attempting to charge those engine batteries at the gliderport will bring down the electrical system for the entire site. If you have such a glider, you should make provisions to charge your batteries at your lodgings or bring your own portable generator to charge your batteries onsite. | |
