Dear Hang gliding Competition Pilots,

As the 2017 competition season comes to an end, planning begins for the forthcoming 2018 events.

Krushevo

In 2018 we have the 20th FAI European Hang Gliding Class 1 Championship, along with the 8th FAI World Hang Gliding Class 5 Championship. The dates for both championships are 8 to 21 July 2018 to be held in Krushevo, Macedonia.
The panel would like to invite all pilots who would like to put themselves forward to be considered for selection for these events to do so before the end of the weekend of the 14th/15th October 2017

We are delighted to Welcome Simon White onto the Panel for the up coming season. 
We would also like to say a big thank you to Richard Hunt and Graham Phipps for their contributions to the panel over the past year/s
Current Panel Members can be found here.
 

We now have confirmed dates for this year's British Open Series - BOS2017; details can be found on the dedicated BOS website 

The BOS is a flexible and accessible series of UK based national competitions, that includes a Rigid (class V) Class , Flexwing (Classs 1) and Club Class, for those pilots who wish to move up, but are not yet ready to commit themselves fully to national championship level. You will find pilots from this level right up to national squad level taking part in these friendly comps.

Series trophies will be awarded at the end of the Third meet.

Last year we had some excellent ideas and a lot of creativity and we're hoping that this year you'll be able to come up with even better designs.
There is no rule around how your design should look, however there are a couple of tips:

All the tick box boxes are now ticked so the competition panel are now able to announce confirmation of the

Richard Hunt has recently been working on some updates to Tracker which, given I haven't sent one for a while, I thought worthy of an email update.

The new version of Tracker is now in Google Play; the changes since V7.0 (which introduced signed IGC files*) are:
