The Flytec Cross Country/Competition Clinic will again be at Quest
Air March 15-18, 2007, led by U.S. team members Dustin Martin and Kevin Carter.
Four days of learning and flying with the first day dedicated to landing,
towing, and equipment perfection.


The last two clinics were wildly popular. This year we want to raise the quality
even higher by focusing on a smaller group for more individual attention. To
maximize value for the hungriest pilots we will fly three to a group capping the
clinic at six pilots.


The clinic will incorporate both general Cross Country and competition Cross
Country skills. This will includes learning and refining GPS navigation, using
the radio, perfecting Cross Country technique, improving out landing skills, and
practicing aero towing.


Pilots will be grouped with similar wings and skills to foster consistent group
flying. Each day your group will rotate to a different instructor so you can
experience a variety of techniques. This is an opportunity for pilots of all
abilities and all glider types to take their flying to the next level. The
clinic curriculum will be custom tailored to the pilots who commit in advance.


We want to encourage, support, and help teach our future champions and Cross
Country record holders in a safe, friendly, laid back environment that will also
cram a pilots head with as much information he or she is ready for!


The cost of the clinic is 300 dollars plus tows.


One of the most popular aspects of last year's event was the landing clinic.
This year the program will more tightly integrate several landing sessions in
response to demand.


Each day will include


* Morning seminars on weather, thermalling, gps use, route planning, Cross
Country skills, landing, towing, foot launching, tactics, etc.


* Midday Cross Country tasks. These will be flown as a group tailored to the
needs, skills, and equipment of the students.


* Evening GPS scoring, flight analysis, and debrief.
