Day 2 of 2 for the Fritz Bien Memorial Soar.
The Fritz Bien Memorial Soar-In (August 23-24) is now an electric launch ALES contest, and we especially want to encourage participation from pilots who are flying older or smaller planes.
To promote that, in addition to the usual 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards, we will have a Handicap Champion award. Only pilots flying non-composite planes will be eligible. Handicapping will be by plane size and construction. Woodie fliers and Radian pilots take note!
