& SDHGPA Site Records will not rest again this year!
The E
Chris Cote just re-set the bar for the E to 54.5 straight line miles on 4-5-17. With a clean ~ straight line to Marshal, then down range to Desert Hot Springs. Each leg a nice flight in its self. Not the easy route through. . . Well done. http://www.sdhgpa.com/-xc-records.html
 E to Marshal, then down range to Desert Hot Springs |  Nice Clean line through tricky tight air space |
Big Black
This past Saturday 4-1-17 was no April Fools day at Big Black and 2 site record flights were recorded for the day. Chris Cote held the site record for 65 min of 34 straight line miles landing near Barrett Lake. Chris & Phil were team flying most of the way but Phil Wessinger fell slightly behind at Cuyamaca and their routes diverged. Phil persisted and held on to Horse and was able to get re-established into the convergence and flew on to the Mexican Border near Tierra Del Sol taking the site record of 48.3 straight line miles.

When Flying XC, Fly Safe . . . and things to do in Preparation:
- Set-up Live Tracking with A Personal Satellite Tracker or Cell Phone
- Add Your Tracking device to the SDHGPA Group Live Tracking lists
- Join the SDHGPA XC Contest
- Study the Classic San Diego routes and information in the SDHGPA Members only section. Know Air space limitations and key hazards and places not to land out.
To qualify for SDHGPA Site Records and SDHGPA XC Contest:
- The full flight must be a Clean Flight without flight violations. Any flight that results in a documented legal infraction (FAA or local law enforcement), will disqualify that flight from being a site record. Simply, flights violating air space will be disqualified and not scored for the SDHGPA XC contest or Site Record listing.
- Flights after 2012 must have tracklogs submitted to Leonardo
