How to set a US National Open Class Multiplace 3-Turnpoint Distance Record in a Club Trainer! 

by Bill Elliott and Rand Baldwin

The first key to accomplishing such a feat is to recognize that a record is just sitting there that needs to be set.  We realized about a month ago that this record had been re-instated and that there was no minimum distance required.  So, all we need was to wait for a good ridge day and go for it!  Of course, there was some preparation to be done to get the club trainer ready--well, not much.

In this article, we will discuss:

          The Task and the Stats

          [Preparation for the flight],

          The weather for the day, and

          Highlights of the flight.

We hope you enjoy the article,
