Montreal Area Thermal Soarers CLUB - Interclub Series
http://www.matsclub.org/interclub.html
The Interclub Series is a tournament running Thermal Duration and Precision Landing events between different clubs of the Ottawa, Gatineau and Montreal area. Historically run on TD/F3J inspired format, the Series is now entirely run on ALES rules since 2012. All kind of gliders have been flying since ALES was introduced: from low cost foams like the Radian, to high end moulds like the Aspire and homebuilts of all sorts. MATS have been sporting many of the gliders our members have built.

R1 Initial Release - 18 August 2014. 2 Minutes Drill - Landing - ENG. 2 Minutes Drill - Landing - FR.

He flew with a Radian and did a rather good job with it. Way to go Peter! The day went by fast...

A new rudder XL for Omerta. An oversized fin and rudder has been manufactured for the latest Omerta ongoing fabrication. The rationale behind the creation of this beast is that we, so far, always needed some weight aft for balancing. In fact, even with the two servos installed back in the fin, we ended up with ALES ships rather nose heavy. The new rudder, featuring a surface of 100 square inches, brings some of that weight back there. No lack of control at low speed with this baby there! Jacques has maid...
