HLG and CLG National Cup Points. These events will be flown from the Glider Pen
Strong Arm Glider Challenge. Norm Furutani Trophy This is the overall winner of the aggregate results of the HLG and CLG classes. Points are awarded for the place in the event. This means first will get 1 , second 2 , etc. The winner is person with the least number of points. This award is open to flyers of all age categories. There is an additional prize for the top Youth flyer.. This is for all youth flyers in the same categories , there is a small difference in that half points are awarded for the CLG class, making this class more important as there are more youth flyers in this category. For both awards if there is a tie it will be decided by the sum of all the times. Double times for CLG in the youth category. You may fly in any number of the events, if you do not return a score you will be awarded on more point than the highest number awarded by those who flew. Remember the lowest number overall wins the trophy..
Golden Age: Any post NOS design published, kitted or flown competitively between 1 Jan 1957 and 31 Dec 1969 scaled if needed to 1/2 A size, powered by either Holland Hornet 049-051 or Cox TD 049-051. Construction must replicate the original design, no carbon fiber to be used in construction. NOS flight rules. Gas powered only for this award.

Rest of the story: As most of you know Norm Furutani, one of the founders of this event retired from running it after the 2018 event. This event is very popular along with the FAI events. Glenn Schneider has offered to run the AMA events with a number of volunteers. This is very much appreciated by me and by those who want to take part. We have tried to maintain the spirit of the event. Popular events with the largest participation are the HLG and CLG, Gollywock, E-36, Vintage FAI and Nos Rubber. At the Winter Classic in the past we have promoted special events, typically boosted by some donated $ in the prize money. This year we have the Golden Age ½ A Gas models.
In memory of our dear friends, Bob and LaVera Isaacson
