I wanted to let everyone know that we have started fund raising
for the first ever U.S. National Sport Class Hang Gliding Team. Because of a
generous contribution from Steve Kroop at Flytec and support from Kraig Coomber
at Moyes U.S.A. anyone who donates $25 will be entered in a raffle. Prizes
include a Flytec sweatshirt, Moyes Speed Sleeves, a Flytec Sonic, and the grand
prize a Flytec 6030. We anticipate having some other items as well. All
proceeds will be used to help all members of the U.S. National Sport Class Team
pay for costs associated with competing in the very first FAI Sport Class Hang
Gliding World Championship, in Annecy France.
The final team composition is yet to be determined as the invitation letters
were sent out to the top ten ranked sport class pilots last week and invitees
have to opt in. Pilots were ranked based upon a national Sport Class pilot
ranking system similar to the one used to select Open Class pilots for the U.S.
Open Class national team, with the added requirement that they meet the
qualifications specified by CIVL. The top ten ranked pilots, in order of their
ranking are:
1. Kip Stone
2. Matt Christensen
3. Stephan Mentler
4. Jonny Thompson
5. Dan Jones
6. David Williams
7. Michelle Haag
8. Orian Price
9. Patrick Halfhill
10. Grant Emary
USHPA anticipates as many as six slots. This your chance to help the team and
maybe get a Flytec 6030 for $25. Sport Class Team members are not eligible for
the raffle. To support the U.S. Sport Class Team and be entered in the raffle, a
PayPal link is provided below.
