Monthly contest at Ashurst for up to 2m span electrically launched RES gliders. These have Rudder, Elevator & Spoiler controls only. A simple height limiter is required. The club has spares available and they are easily fitted on the day. Contact the glider representative if you need to borrow one.
There will also be occasional contests for electrically launched Keil Kraft Caprice gliders.

There will be a general flying session at Ashurst one Sunday each month in the summer months. This is a Fun fly day for any type of glider. (It’s not a contest, so no height limiter is required.) All welcome.
