131 March ‘08 ..... and out of the blue we get an email that proposed the following from Marcus Stent - “I would like to announce the introduction of a DLG (Discus Launch Glider) Mini League to be run over the next 4 Months. The Events will be held on SATURDAYS at Briggs field from 1PM to 3PM on the following dates. March 22, April 19, May 17, June 21 Numbers and weather permitting we will run 2 heats per round and 20 Rounds for the day (4 Blocks of 5 Rounds). Between rounds we will hold DLG clinics on launching, trimming, setup and thermalling. Entry is $5 and there will be prizes and trophies at the end of the League. All are welcome and anyone new will be alocated an experienced person as a mentor and timer for the day. The Rules are very simple and involve a modification of the F6D (HLG) rules. 1. Each heat involves the pilots launching at the same time (one launch only) from a designated area. 2. The task is a 3 minute max time. 3. Your score is a percentage of the maximum time achieved in the heat. 4. You must land back in the designated area.”
