The “SUPER D TANGO” is on!!! ONE DESIGN CONTEST is on!!
Why the name??? Everyone flies in ONE Airplane and ONE Sequence!!
It’s the Decathlon (Super D)!! and this year’s Sportsman Sequence!!
Saturday, July 18th at Akroville (XA68) 35 miles Northwest of DFW
This will be one of the most entertaining contests that you will ever attend!!!
This is an IAC Sanctioned one day, one airplane type, one sequence event!
It’s your chance to show your stuff (or not, as the case may be!) on an equal
basis! And, how often do you have the chance to have a contest on a grass
strip?
Registration of $165 includes:
Entry Fee, Decathlon Rental, Fuel, Parachute, Fun, lots of smiles and hopefully
a trophy!!
Four Winds Aviation of Aero Country (McKinney) will provide 2 Super Decathlons,
parachutes, headsets and Safety Pilot (insurance pilot) if needed. Both seats will
be occupied on all competition flights and each pilot will fly one sequence from
each aircraft. If you’d rather compete in your own Decathlon, that’s great, just
bring ‘the claw’ or other tie-down equipment. There is plenty of space for tie-downs
for anyone who’d like to fly in!!
Festivities (Food, Beverages, fun) Begins Friday-Sunday! Bring a tent (lots of space
to camp out), sleeping bag (the Big Ass Fan makes the hangar sleepable, if you’d like)
and extra refreshments and food. There’s also hotels nearby and car-pooling will be
available!
If you don’t want to fly, come out to judge!! This is also a great opportunity to practice
judging! At the very least, come on out just to have a fun time!
Practice: Friday, July 17th
Briefing: 0900 Saturday, July 18th
