First of all, the USHPA can't sanction these meets until the fall BOD meet, November 13th and 14th, but all the meet organizers will be getting in their sanction applications at the fall BOD meeting.
Second, only a few of the dates are firmly fixed, so some could change over the next few weeks.
Third, the USHPA may upset the applecart by... mehr

You may have recently received an email from Lisa Tate, USHPA President, regarding proposed changes to the USHPA Competition Program. Lisa states that the Competition Workgroup has recently made some changes to their original proposal. We applaud this change: the separation of the Race-To-Goal type meets from other types of events/competitions.... mehr

It looks like a lot of pilots got penalties of 100%. I assume for airspace violations.

32 kms from Signals to Scarborough. A really fun flight and a new
personal best for me at this site. The flight itself was easy, just a point and

the ocean before finding... mehr

hang gliding
Pilots are a competitive lot and it given the opportunity to

skills and increase their enjoyment of flying. Competition is a means of
sustaining our sport and encouraging individual growth... mehr
