Changing wings

[Steve C]

Is it possible for me to fly one wing at the Isle of Wight round and a different wing at the Peaks round ?   ( I'm presuming an event is a round ??  or is it  ??  ) Rule 5. Changing glider

Once a pilot scores in any event they must fly the same glider throughout that event.   Steve C

I did Steve - with special dispensation from the organisers of course (I think it involved a pint, or maybe two)!

The answer is yes, Steve. By event it means round. Within a round it is also possible given a good reason and dispensation.

In the Champs, there has never been any issue with flying a different wing in the two legs. No dispensation needed.

Dispensation needed when a change is during one leg. Dispensation is normally forthcoming provided there is no significant performance advantage.

Hi Dave,

That is really great news that you are coming down to fly our little hills and cliffs, a bit different to Carn Liath! All the sites are within 30 minutes drive with no 2 hour hikes to the top so registration should be possible Saturday morning. If it is a cliff run day then we wait for the Sea Breeze at midday and that launch field is 5 minutes away!

Cheers, Mark.
