link here and click save file. We expect the CIVL Bureau to review and decide to accept or reject our bid by
the end of September. It apparently will be decided by the Bureau and not the
Plenary (in February). Key Features: 2nd FAI Sport Class World Hang Gliding Championships,
14th FAI Womens World Hang Gliding Championships,
9th FAI Class 5 World Hang Gliding Championships, and
21st FAI Class 2 World Hang Gliding Championships Quest Air Soaring Center Sunday, April 19th, 2020 to Friday May 1st, 2020 Entry fees (excluding aerotow fee and Wilotree Park fee) are $350 per pilot. Aerotow fees are set at $550 per pilot. (This is a tentative number based on
past competitions and may change. We expect to have this figure finalized in
December 2018.) 11 days at $50/day, plus $25 optional for the first practice
day. In addition, there will be a park use fee of $175/pilot. This fee covers the
Wilotree Park facilities including bathrooms, garbage collection, laundry room,
pool, club house, kitchen, Wi-Fi, etc. Park use fee for non-pilots is $10/day. Pilots must not have been listed in the top twenty US pilots since January 2008
for entry into sport class. Pilots must not have finished in the top 2/3rd's of
a non-Sport Class Category 1 competition held since January 2014, for entry into
sport class. We use a handicap system that will allow for pilots flying lower
performance king-posted hang gliders including beginner double-surface and
single surface hang gliders. We will be working on getting a significant sponsorship package which will
hopefully drastically reduce these fees. Test event likely week 1 or week 2 of the 2019 Quest Air Nationals. Saturday April 13th through Friday, April 19th and Saturday April 20th through
Sunday, April 27th. Entry fee (excluding aerotow fee and park fee): $200 per pilot for each week. Aerotow Fee: $350 per pilot/week. (This is a tentative number based on past
competitions and may change. We expect to have this figure finalized in December
2018.) Pilots can pay for towing before the meet at the regular day rate of
$25/tow (rate based on 2018 rates). In addition, there will be a park use fee of $100/pilot/week (or $175 for both
weeks). This fee covers the Wilotree Park facilities including bathrooms,
garbage collection, laundry room, pool, club house, kitchen, Wi-Fi, etc. Park
use fee for non-pilots is $10/day.
