Eagleville Sailplanes hosted a stop in the G.T.A. Race series on Sunday May 1, 2005. Originally scheduled as a two day event, Saturday was almost a total loss because of foul weather. The day was saved however by Dick Butler who graciously invited a group to visit his beautiful place in Manchester, TN. Sunday was an absolutely wonderful day with terrific lift and everyone in both classes completed the tasks without mishaps or landouts. All of us at Eagleville Sailplanes deeply appreciate all the participants for having stayed into Sunday. I have provided a group photo of the participants for you to post to your website if you wish. Sincerely, Bill Marquez. We had post-cold front conditions over ground that had just been rained on. It was indeed a great soaring day with lift up north up to 7100MSL and a flew clouds here and there with strong lift. Between the tight core strong thermals were wide expanses of solid 3.5-4 knots of sink, could be called sink streets, but at the time seemed more like sink superhighways... The B class guys really competed good, both flying 80 miles. The task area was beautiful with many landable fields, beatiful rolling hills and lakes in other areas. And the gliderport was full of friendly locals, quite the place to go back to. regards, Chris Ruf 2005 GTA Eagleville Eagleville TN Sunday, May 01, 2005 Official A Class Day 1 Task: Turn Area ID Name Distance (Miles) Radius 1 PUCKETTEAGLV 0.00 3.0 9 Lebanon Apt 35.46 8.0 17 Tullahoma AP 91.58 25.0 1 PUCKETTEAGLV 120.35 1.0 Minimum Time 02:30 Cumulative Day Speed Distance Remarks Rank Points ID Name Glider Rank Points Hndcp Actual Hndcp Actual Code Penalty Points ---- ----- -- ---- ------ ---- ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ ---- ------- ------ 1 1000 DB Butler, Dick ASW-27 1 1000 51.77 58.83 131.45 149.38 2 897 H6 Ruf, Chris 303 Mosquito 2 897 46.45 47.89 117.44 121.07 3 654 NX Richard, Bob ASW-24 3 654 33.87 36.03 84.67 90.08 MT15 4 477 1FL Larsen-Fox, Tim-Bruce 304CZ 4 477 24.05 25.32 60.80 64.00 5 0 NN Rand Baldwin LS-8 5 0 flew task but no flight log Codes: MT minimum time Official B Class Day 1 Task: Modified Assigned ID Name Distance (Miles) Radius 1 PUCKETTEAGLV 0.00 3.0 14 Murfreesboro 15.60 10 Lewisburg AP 50.64 15 Shelbyville 71.29 1 PUCKETTEAGLV 83.48 1.0 Minimum Time 02:00 Cumulative Day Speed Distance Remarks Rank Points ID Name Glider Rank Points Hndcp Actual Hndcp Actual Code Penalty Points ---- ----- -- ---- ------ ---- ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ ---- ------- ------ 1 1000 Z2 Poe, Michael PW-5 Smyk 1 1000 47.58 39.45 96.60 80.10 2 802 1P Fieldson, Jeff 304CZ 2 802 38.15 40.16 76.30 80.32 MT Codes: MT Flight time less than minimum time.
