I wish I could test my #1 CLG glider. That would really be the acid test for
anyone's gliders. Thanks for the info. Ciao,

PPCC is a great contest in a great little town, with a bunch of very hospitable
modelers.

This is not a site to set records in, but air is good (mild, predictable drift),
the ceiling is scrub-able, and it's a decent size.

I've found airfare to CO Springs to be pretty cheap at that time of year, too.
