Green Swamp Sport Klassic

Post by lbunner »

Hi all, the Green Swamp Sport Klassic will be held at Quest (now Wilotree Airpark) in Groveland, FL from March 18-24th. This is a mentored competition for pilots who want to learn about flying Race-to-Goal tasks. Pilots will be grouped into teams that will be led by experienced competition pilots each day. Many pre task discussions will be held to provide information on instruments, weather, flying techniques, strategies and a myriad of other topics to help you improve as a hang glider pilot. The mentor of your team will then help you in the air to make goal and afterwards debrief with his pilots on what worked and what needs to change. This is a great opportunity to improve your skills. Come on down to Quest this winter/spring and get a jump on next season! You can register here: https://airtribune.com/2018-green-swamp ... sic/pilots

I would like to second Larry's post. Last year's event was a truly fruitful learning event for pilots, but, more importantly, the flying was excellent. Even if you don't imagine yourself ever becoming a comp pilot, the high quality, task-focused flying with many pilots of near equivalent skills and flying similar equipment is just plain fun.
And it was a pleasant way to jump start spring flying by a few weeks,
