Thanks to Mike Stump, LSF President, for allowing us Woody Guys to fly my Mini Hi Start contest at the 1995 AMA Nats. flying field, Muncie, IN.
This was a contest series, "Great Lakes RC Soaring League", I started for 1.5M sailplanes while living in Michigan that was greatly enjoyed by many. Simple group launching from my Sky Bench Mini Hi-Starts. A very easy and relaxing way to enjoy RC Sailplane competition and great comrade. Cheap too. We used the road for the launch pad, the Hi Starts were staked at the top of the hill. Funny, the winch launch part of the Nats this year launched from the top of this same hill into the same wind direction. The League held "Hand Launching" competition as well.

Two small plastic cases, one held the five contest Mini Hi-Starts, score cards and pencils, the other case held my single stick Kraft TX, the Leagues Individual Task Accomplishment form and my practice Mini Start.
Unbelievable how much enjoyment these two cases provided and how easy it was to host a contest.
