14JUL2007 TPG HLG Contest Announcement
======================================
Everyone,

The next TPG HLG contest will be on the 14th of July. Registration is on field.  You
must be signed in before the pilots meeting.  Pilots meeting will be at 945a sharp,
and the first heat starts at 10a.

I'd like to do F3K tasks during the latter half of the year. This month, we'll do 5 
of the 8 tasks:  B, C, E, H, I, and J.  I'd really like to try to do all 8 F3K 
tasks in one day, but that will have to be later in the year sometime.

Rules will be F3K proposal as published in MAR2007 issue of RCSD.  Exceptions to the 
rules will be: field rules prevail (see club website), no official timekeepers, 
field size as is, one class only, assist launchers on an as needed basis to be
arranged with the CD at the time of registration, frequency assignment per 
regional casual standards, preparation time will not be provided during the 
previous heat's working or landing time, two minutes of flight test time will be 
provided, but 5 minutes of preparation time is not guaranteed, CD's word is final
on all matters, and flight in the no fly zone will result in the offending plane
tossed into the woodchipper and offending transmitter to follow.  Whether to round up,
round even, or truncate will be announced at the meeting.

Please read through the entire F3K rules.  Sure, everyone has flown all of the tasks,
but the whole feel of the event will be a bit different.  The is a low key, low
stress event, so if you screw up, it'll only cost you some razzing.
